Influences: Here are some of my heroes/influences. Donald Riddell, Alasdair Fraser, Martin Hayes, Buddy MacMaster, Rodney Miller, Led Zeppellin (in a VERY big way) various choral music composers, Rage against the Machine, Herbie Hancock, Stephane Grappelli, R.H.C.Peppers, Prodigy, Martyn Bennett, Fred Morrison, and all the people I've worked with whom I wont name individually cos there's rather a lot. Actually I really have to mention two very big influences; Andy Thorburn and Iain Copeland - for inspiration, wisdom and knowledge on the topics of harmony, rythm and many other aspects of life, the universe and everything. Some of my favourite composers of contemporary traditional melodies - Fred Morrison, Charlie Mackerron, Phil Cunningham, Ross Ainslie, Allan Macdonald, Brian Finnegan, Brendan Ring, Andy Thorburn, John Somerville, Peter Morrison, Gordon Duncan R.I.P and Martyn Bennet also R.I.P, Kevin O Neill of Rutherglen, Kevin Henderson, Gordon Gunn, and well, just all the amazing new tunes that are constantly emerging. I think we live in very (musically) interesting times!
