LYRICS & VISIT SCOTLAND AD UPLOADED

About Me

Three times performer at Scotlands' (& the UK's) premier music festival "T IN THE PARK" as well as having performed as the opening act for a prestigious list of well known musical acts i.e. MICHAEL McDONALD, Suzanne Vega, GLENN TILBROOK, Bryan Ferry, SCOTT MATTHEWS, Clive Gregson, GRETCHEN PETERS, The Saw Doctors, HUE & CRY, Paul Kelly, CHRIS WHITLEY, Kevin Mcdermott, NICK HARPER, Roachford, THE BEAUTIFUL GIRLS ... to name but a few.Out and about gigging the width and breadth of Scotland promoting my debut album "WRITTEN IN STONE". This critically acclaimed album features the cream of Scotlands top session musicians i.e. from such bands as SIMPLE MINDS, DEACON BLUE, HUE & CRY, THE PROCLAIMERS, CAPERCALLIE. At the moment, as well as keeping myself occupied on the gigging front, I'm also busy in the recording studio putting the finishing touches towards my soon to be released second album.

Influences: Great songs ... (Whatever the musical genre) ... Songs with substance ... Songs that strike at your very core and give you goosebumps or seriously positive feelings every time you hear them ... Songs that offer up something that makes you think about a situation or an event from some other perspective ... Songs that give you the feeling that it's good to be alive ... Songs that make or help you empathise with anothers situation ... Songs that make me think "I wish I'd thought of that ... or ... "I wish I wrote that" ... Songs that ask of folk "what the F**k are you doing with this precious life of yours, and why are you spending so much time leading such an unhappy unfulfilled existance" ... Songs that make people think of all the crap that's going on in the world at the moment and how we CAN change things for the better if only we get up off of our apathetic rear-ends and actually do something about it...
Sounds Like: There's been many a favourable comparison made in the past ... But hey ... I guess you can make your own mind up on this one ... Have a listen!
