About Me



Alright?

My name's Roscoe and I'm a writer and performer from Cumnock in Ayrshire. My music is usually solo piano/guitar-based, and can be sampled at the top of this page. All of my MP3s are available for free download, and you can also watch live videos of previous performances on this page.

I will be sporadically putting new stuff up all the time in the listening post at the top of the page, so get a listen if you've got the time and download it if you haven't!

thanx for dropping in, please take a look at my blog and download my music... say hello if you want. or don't. whatever.
