Living Leith Season 1 Episode 13

Singer-songwriter Kirsty Baird is the Founder and Creative Director of Sing in the City, Founder of Chief Radio, and band member of Hanley and the Baird. Kirsty tells us about her varied career in music, from gigging in Leith bars at the age of 17, to performing at the Usher Hall. Kirsty shares stories about her band, Hanley and the Baird, who have a new single out - Looking at Me, Looking at You. We talk about her wildest gig (involving a gun), crawling underneath the Hibs stadium barriers as a child, and her work to combat the challenges that face small bands and unsigned musicians in today's music industry.
