About Me

I have been singing, writing and performing for 20+ years. I have gigged widely and have supported many name acts: Fish (Ex-Marillion), The Supernaturals, Dreadzone, Lemonheads, Idlewild, Edwin Collins, Scouting for girls, Justin Currie (DelAmitri),The Cosmic Rough Riders, Skyclad, The Joyriders, The Beta Band. After years on the breadline, trying to score a record deal, I admit that it would probably be easier to win the lottery. The love of music is all that matters. Check out the tunes.My album "NO WORD FOR THAT IN JAPANESE" is available from Scotloads.co.uk Click on the banner below to get your copy.Collaborating on several exciting projects! Including Roads To Damascus. www.myspace.com/roadstodamascus and Animal Behaviour (www.myspace.com/furiousspring). ANIMAL BEHAVIOUR will be playing at Belladrum Tartan Heart Festival 2009, alongside Editors, Ocean Colour Scene, Shed Seven....
