About Me

Hi there. I just noticed that I was getting a bit bored with what I'd written. You stop looking at it after a while dont you? Anyway....I just wanted to tell you that I love music and that it is coming back into my life in a big way after having being pushed out for a long, long time. Ages ago, music for me was all about getting noticed and getting gigs and getting fame. I've come to realise that I am totally not cut out for any of that. I'm really quite a shy and sensitive person (arent we all?) I'm really enjoying myspace...I've listened to more new music in six months than I have in ten years and made contact with a whole bunch of great people and its much easier than meeting real people. I'm also really enjoying letting the songs out of their own accord..not forcing them or writing them for others...just enjoying the process...even if sometimes its difficult.

Ho Hum Great Universe.

OK, I'm gradually beginning to get it. The penny is dropping, I'm soo slow. Lets see now. I laid my best, black silk dress on the stove while I emptied the dishwater, only to wonder seconds later what...

Seeking sanctuary!

Impaled!

I had such a shock today! I was driving along the A81 on a nice straight bit of road. There was a wee pick-up truck coming towards me with a load of fencing posts on. Just as he was about to pass I sa...

Rocknroll fest

So performed at the accoustic site, Glasgow Festival. A windy site behind the peoples palace. I swear, when I looked over at the fountain the wind was blowing the jets towards the east end of Glasgow....
