About Me

Well folks after a long period of not doin anything much, as I been way to blue to contemplate writing music. At long last there is a change coming, I am goin to embark on a new band project hopefully bringin together Western Swing Rockabilly and even a wee bit of Celtic, the core will be guitar, Bass and fiddle. Initially I will be working on my own and so the first songs that will appear here will feature me on fiddle and guitar, and I am now seeking a guitar player and Bass player in the Ayrshire/Glasgow area to help me creat something.So anyways keep 'em peeled for new recordings as soon as I can sort out some recording gear! ?8^) I reckon it will be red hot and smoking!
