About Me

I am a founding member of the Edinburgh based band Dropkick. I have written songs, played various instruments and sung with them for the last decade. It is my goal at gigs to ruin other band's sets with my poor quality banjo. Recently, i have managed this on songs by The Scuffers, The Sundowns, Attic Lights, Little Pebble, The Dead Beat Club, The Hazey Janes, The Stantons and Mike Allan. In the past year i have been running Cockroach's Mobile Studio which has produced albums by The Stantons, Mike Allan, The Dead Beat Club, Dropkick and my own pish (see above). Currently recording an EP with Kat Healy. Over the years I have amassed a large quantity of songs that have either been unsuitable for the band or, more accurately, have been rejected by the others! Some of them will end up here along with my demos for forthcoming Dropkick albums.I edited my profile with Thomas' Myspace Editor V4.4.. width="425" height="350" ..
