About Me

MySpace Slideshow MySpace Generators MySpace Comments MySpace Codes MySpace EditorBorn on the wee island across the way (or Ireland for those poor folk who don't bide in Scotland) moved to Aberdeen to commit myself to the academic institution, and picked up the guitar, which thankfully saved me from falling into to the trap of getting a really good degree and making lots of (any) money. After a good year of playing (busking) my way round this side of Europe, an unexpected competition win (for busking...) in Finland gave me the chance to record an EP and also took me through Sweden where I happened upon a job in a beautiful bio-dynamic veg garden. Isn't it funny how things turn out...

My Interests

Music:

Member Since: 20/04/2007
Band Members: Me, Brigid LeFevre. The fantstic Caroline Kemp, Fiona Keenan, Duncan Hart and Kavita Thomas added thier masterful sounds to Uniform Times.
Influences: Caroline Kemp, my mother, Fiona Keenan and the people who sang songs around fires when I was fifteen (not naming any names), are definately the people who formed the music I make most, but then there´s also Nina Simone, Larkin Grimm, Fiona Apple, Porteshead, Space Pengin, Lamb, folk songs learnt at school, Tom Waits, Ludvico Ienudo, Devandra Banheart, Bert Jansch, Joni Mitchell, Vashti Bunyan, lots of other things I wouldn´t admit to and quite a few that I only heard after Uniform Times, but if I´d heard them before they´d definately have been in my influence list - like Josephine Foster, Cat Power, Joan as a Police Woman, Andrew Bird and the Pentatones - well maybe thats more of a future direction..´my influences will be´...and then I´d definately include some Lazy Sheepdog / tomthenoisemonger and afurnishedsoul. Hmmm...
Sounds Like: something vaguely familiar
Type of Label: Major
