I've lately finished an album of material I'm calling 'Cold But Bright' that has a blues-infused acid folk kind of a sound. Because a lot of the CDs I've distributed have no art and therefore no track list I'm putting that just below here in the form of a list of the tracks..
I've also put the lyrics in a blog just above this ramble so as to not take up more space here, since I reason the less space you have to watch for the arrival of this masterpiece the better... ...watch it all the same though....
COLD BUT BRIGHT
1. Pond Life
2. Genie in the Bottle
3. Ruby and Pearl
4. Roxy
5. Rain Hymn
6. Flying Feet

Here's a video of me playing a song called 'Clean' a little while ago somewhere in a basement in Glasgow...
And here's an experiment some film students at the RSAMD did using my song 'Genie in the Bottle'.....
I'm trying to make lots of music so there's other tunes to be found on other spaces too......Myself and my brother's music as the duo FELTT can be found at:

And my brother's alter-ego Safety Nett has different pages but here's the acoustic one because I had a hand in producing a couple of the acoustic tunes:

That should be plenty to be going on with..

Music is rubbish.

Well.   Hmphp.   It's not, obviously, but one does get fatigued trying to weed out the good stuff.  Ach.  Well, that statement in itself has just ruined any possible objective authority I might have h...

Reminder: Hope - it's cruel but it's good.

A fine gentleman of letters named Kurt Vonnegut has a knack for summing things up that would take me pages and pages of text or hours and hours of music and song to even reach towards.  I've been stuc...

No Mean City Festival at the Glasgow Academy

Hmm, I think the mood thing says I'm sick, which at the moment is true.  But not about the subject matter.  There's going to be a blues, country and Americana festival called 'No Mean City' (aye, like...

Coming Soon: New Acoustic Tunes from Safety Nett
