Bee man!

About Me

I'm a laid back, care-free guy from a small village just outside Glasgow. Everything i do pretty much revolves around music and i wouldn't have it any other way!

I play in heavy rock band LSD, where our main aim is to rock the fuck out wherever possible, also have a few other projects on the go including an attempt to put music to all seven parts of Samuel Taylor Coleridge's 'Rime of the Ancient Mariner'(though it's proving to be quite a task!).

At the moment i'm working as a sound guy on the Rebus series on ITV, for those that don't know it's a detective series set in Edinburgh.

My Interests

I love music, it's the main focus of my life and everything else sort of happens around it. I study music technology, which involves computers, music and loads of nonsense in between. I also sing and play guitar, taking time to mess around with phasers, big muffs and any other random effects i can get my hands on.

I'm greatly open-minded when it comes to trying new things, if its creative, interesting or skillful i'll give it a shot.

For instance, i flew to Portugal and completed a two week course on sailing yachts just because a friend suggested it, now i'm qualified to skipper one at sea...awesome!

I'd like to meet:

Anyone who wants to meet me really!

Music:

Depends, i listen to a helluvalot of music! I listen to everything from 40s Blues to Heavy rock, post-rock, metal, stoner-rock, indie, bluegrass, electro, techno, death metal, DOOM, psychadelia and generally anything else with a guitar and a beat.
