About Me

Hello to you all on myspace. I'm one of a growing band of "mature" folkies just getting going here.The tracks you can hear are from my "A19" album, although one of them "Rage in the Cage" is a concert recording of one of the album's studio tracks.I've been playing professionally for approaching 30 years now, notably for a 13-year stretch (no time off for good behaviour) with Scotland's Battlefield Band. I sing loads of traditional material, some of my own songs and some by various other songwriters.Since leaving the band, I've divided my time between gigging (sporadic), running my own acoustic studio, tour management and live festival sound crew jobs.Please follow my website link for more info, more tracks and downloads.
