About Me

born in Rangoon, burma, of Burmese, Scottish, English heritage. my music is all about happenings in my life, couldn't write anything else! These are all heart songs.
The new album entitled "Manic Murmurs" will be out soon in all its colour and glory, featuring such live favourites as "Black Dog", "Blow The Wind Over The Hills" and, of course, "Run Rabbit Run", bringing to mind those under house arrest in Burma, namely Aung San Sui Kyi. Watch out for more gigs...Patiently waiting for the love of her life to find her...."Lost Echo sits amid the voiceless mountains, And feeds her grief with his remembered lay; And will no more reply to winds or fountains, Or amorous birds perched on the young green spray, Or herdsman's horn, or bell at closing day; Since she can mimic not his lips, more dear Than those for whose disdain she pined away Into a shadow of all sounds:- a drear Murmur, between their songs, is all the woodmen hear." (Shelley)
