New lo-fi acoustic album on the way

About Me

Prolific songwriter from Edinburgh. Drummer for Orphan, Aaron Wright and Muppet. Sometime guitarist for Dale Radley. Occasional producer. I love writing, playing, and hearing music. Just started work on a new lo-fi project that will see a double albums worth of new tunes seeing the light of day in the near future.
