About Me

You can buy my tunes below. Have a wee listen. Stop the Myspace player above first though as two songs playing together can often offend!!!! Cheers folks!
IT'S ALIVE!!!
Before we go any further let me get one or two things straight, I don't want attention for my pathetic ego. I am not interested in getting rich for material gain. I dont care about being famous. I dont need to be on MTV. I coudn't give a f*ck about the Brits. All I want to do is make music. If I can make enough cash from it to live then that'll do me fine. If not well, f*ck it, I'm gonna do it anyway...
Born in 1975 in Irvine, Scotland. I have been writing music for over 20 years but it's only in the last six that I have learned guitar and discovered The Beatles. These two events have been proved to be explosive in my creative life. I started out programming BASIC code into my ZX Spectrum +2 to get some tunes out of it when I was 9. Then I learned keyboards and got into electronic music in the early 90's. Now I am writing more than ever. I have recorded 2 albums in the last 2 years and have enough material for another 2 on the way so watch this space!!!
I perform Guitar, Bass, Keyboards, Drums, Vocals and eveything else on my records. I truly am one mega talented futher mucker!
I am constantly changing the tunes on this site so keep comming back. I have about 30 recorded so far.
Rock and Roll baby yeah!!!!!!
By the way I am looking to join a band in the Edinburgh area, as a songwriter come keyboards come rythm geetar and lead vocals. So for fick sake mail me now before I melt........
I am always adding new songs to my player so please keep on keeping on to here new and cool tunes from my albums!!
YEEEHAAAA!!!!!!!!
PS please post a comment or rate my songs if you dig them! Cheers!
The latest songs for the Jam Happy album are coming along real nice. Wait til you hear 'Cried Like a Baby' and 'Make Her Mine'. Man I just keep getting better. Sniff.
