Influences: Live, I've never failed to be inspired and uplifted by Eddi Reader, Ron Sexsmith, Eric Bibb, Slaid Cleaves, Karine Polwart, Boo Hewerdine. Songs that can heal and comfort. Guy Clark. John Prine.The beautiful sound of The Wailin'Jenny's. Gillian Welch. Shawn Colvin. Songs so sad I can hardly bear to listen. Patty Griffin or Beth Nielsen Chapman. Gritty songs. Songs that embrace the contradictions of life. Darrell Scott. Joni Mitchell. Tom Waits. Jimmy Webb. Mary Gauthier. Songs that take you home. Sandy Denny. Richard Thompson. Clive Gregson. Steve Knightley. Andy West. Songs that need to be turned up loud. The Dixie Chicks. Sheryl Crow. The Indigo Girls. Will that do for starters....?

Iain Anderson BBC Radio Scotland
" ...another track from that beautiful little album "A Few Small Things"
