I was born in Dunfermline in 1961 and I have lived here in Dunfermline for all but five years of my life.
I am happily married with one daughter who is a highly successful competitive disco dancer. (2nd in the USA National Championships in Florida 2004 and 16th in the World Championships in Slovakia in September 2005).
I'm a pathetic muso who spends too long on the net and at gigz.
Cream started it all for me at the age of seven though by 1972 my attention had centred on Alice Cooper, with whom I have maintained something just short of an obsession, having now seen him live twelve times and spent an unforgettable weekend in Crewe at the UK's only Alice Cooper convention in 2002 where I met three members of the original band (who wrote the early huge hits such as 'School's Out' & 'Elected') and was invited to join them after the event in a 'refreshment or two' at their hotel into the wee small hours!
I became interested in local live music performance around 1978 when a close friend of mine, Neill Martin (now Dr. Neill Martin) started playing in a high School Band called 'Straits' who later became ' Trax '.
My enthusiastic support evolved into a position as roadie, photographer (and as it tuned out) archivist. We toured Scotland extensively between 1978 & 1980 in support of bands such as ' The Revillos ' at the Kinema, 'The Fall' at The Astoria in Edinburgh, and ' The Skids ' at 'The Marquee' in London and at The Kinema and many other venues. ' Trax ' headlined most of their 70-odd gigs and sold-out 2000 copies of their now highly sought-after 7" 'Home E.P.'
Since November 2005 I've spent most of my spare time researching, building, improving and expanding my web site at www.KinemaGigz.com (The Whole Story of The Kinema Ballroom in Dunfermline, listing every performance date for every band who ever played there, complete with biographies) 1100 artists, 10,000 dates over 69 years!
