I was born in Dumfries, SW Scotland a few...tho not too many moons ago. I didn't come from a musical family but rather bumped into a few while strolling through life. Before I knew it, I was surrounded by folk who played and wrote their own songs..not to be outdone, I decided to do the same.I've always had a thing about guitars, even though I'm trying to learn the damn thing at the moment. Every party I would go to, some 'git' would bring a lump of wood with strings and suddenly there would be a dozen budding Knopflers in the room. It was because of this that I decided I'd play the damn piano instead..although now I realise that it's not quite as portable.I started playing in pubs when I was around 15 to the rowdy crowds of Galloway, then to Aberdeen, London & Leeds. Then, after showing no signs of liking folk music whatsoever, i joined a folk band - "Runt O' the Litter" which led to gigs over Europe and eventually to the joining of other bands such as "The Badgers" , "Taxi for MacLean" , "Rattus Rattus" to name but a few. I continue to write my own material which can be fairly accurately described as balladesque, although I write in a quite a few styles.I've had radio play and continue to gig both here and abroad, waiting for whatever's meant to happen next.I've hit MySpace a bit late, but here I am . . . .
