Welcome to my website.

Here you can listen to some of my music, view upcoming gigs, buy my albums and find out more about me.

My latest album ‘Valley of Gold’ has been well received so far and I have had lots of good feedback. I have been given some very flattering comments (often by drunk people in the Oak) which is really great.

The next exciting project has taken the form of bluegrass. I have recently been heavily influenced by some great bluegrass bands such as The Steeldrivers and The Devil Makes Three (look em up) and have formed a new band named Big Red Bluegrass. Our debut performance will be at the Pleasance Cabaret Bar, Edinburgh at 8pm, on Thursday 12th April, 2012. Tickets are £5 on the door. We will be joined by the beautiful Hailey Beavis and I will also be doing a short set of original tunes. Be there.

I am also planning a wee trip to Vermont to play some gigs alongside some good folkie friends of mine in October 2012 so I will keep you posted.

"Sounding very sweet and fresh"

"Burkitt's songs revealed his sure-handed melodic facility, allied to skilful wordcraft and an attractive voice, whose understated balance of softness and sinew variously recalled James Taylor, Josh Ritter and DougieMacLean. His performance affirmed him as a singularly promising talent"
Sue Wilson, The Scotsman
