About Me

Hi there, and thanks for visiting my myspace page. I'm new to this whole thing, but it seems like a great opportunity to get my music heard, so listen away!It seems a lot longer than 5 years since I played my first open mic at the end of my second year at university in St. Andrews, Scotland. I'm not sure any of the songs I play that night still adorn my sets down here in London, where I'm based now. Apart from maybe the occasional cover of Mr. Jones of course!After those "early" days in Scotland, I went on tour in the States - spending 2 months touring the coffee house circuit in San Francisco, and getting some of my stuff good airplay on college radio. I've also played some in Australia, where I entered the respected Queensland Songwriting Competition and beat off over a hundred competitors to be rewarded a place in the Grand Final.I'm now back in the UK, and have just recorded and released a live album in an attempt to sum up what I do on stage (including the dubious banter!) for those of you who haven't been able to see one of my shows. Check out the songs above!!
