About Me

After playing in several different outfits, and losing several good tunes to the black-hole that is "band break up". I wanted to start a page that reflected my passion for writing and basically..... good moosac!!!!
I have been so lucky over the last 10 years to play and record with some amazing musicians, so this page not only serves as an aid to demonstrate my music, but also as a testament to those who have helped and inspired me enough to actually get to the point that I feel I am able to class myself as one of them.... a musician!!!

My Interests

Music:

Member Since: 6/23/2007
Band Members: Aiden MacKenzie and an array of talented musicians.....

.....basically whoever is free to jam and who feels they can add to the song!!!

Influences: So many......

Freya Giles (who is in a band called "Wyldflower" see top friends), Tom McFadyen, Marisa Giannasi (band called "Sisa"), Beth Fouracre (The Beth Fouracre Band), Beccie Wallace(singer songwriter extraordinaire!! Elliots Bar, Paul Docherty ("The Cosmic Rough Riders"), Jason Foy (Napoleon syndrome) Alexander Docherty aka DOTS (the guy who taught me geetar).........

So many influences, but mostly real musicians of the moment, folk that bleed their soul every night on stages up and down the country and who inspire me to strive to play......

My biggest influence with regards to writing however is a man called Andrew Still who is a singer/songwriter for Inverness based band called The Galipaygos.........

Also the biggest influence in my life...... The Market Bar.... it is an institution!!!!

Sounds Like: I've had a few varied comparisons, but that's all they are.... comparisons!!

I'm Aiden, I don't try to be anything more and I respect myself too much to be anything less!!!!

Have a listen and if I sound like anyone in your opinion but you like it,cool!!! If you cant put your finger on it but still like what you hear... then cool!!!!

Record Label: unsigned
Type of Label: Major
