My Interests

Music:

Member Since: 16/03/2006
Band Members: On the recordings we have Tam Annan on Drums, Gavin Marwick on Fiddle, Carron Connelly on Backing vocals and Willie Logan on everything else. ( Albert Lee does not feature - it's Willie Logan, honest!)
Influences: Elvis, Johnny Cash, AC/DC, Led Zeppelin, Lucinda Williams. Kriss Kristofferson, The Who, Mary Gauthier, Dean Martin, Frank Sinatra and a few more that i'll probably remember later!Can't stand Elton John, George Michael, Boy Bands and the rasping of Bruce Springsteen. Don't much care for jazz or that Soul/funk type thing. Northern Soul is cool though! Actually Mick Hucknall is crap too! Come to think of it, who would buy anything by Phil Collins? Or Sting even? Underwhelming the lot of them. Am I allowed to write this? Perhaps i'll blog it for a laugh.Don't get me started on Keane or Coldplay though. My wife sometimes makes me listen to some of the above , thank God the kids all ask for Tony Joe White or Johnny Cash!
Sounds Like: Elvis Presley impersonating me!
Record Label: Lazy Dad
Type of Label: Indie

Russell Brand

I can't help but thinking that if Russell Brand was to put on some weight he'd be the double of his aunty, Jo Brand, although I think she's the triple of him.
