About Me

Tapselteerie Music Agency is about trying to encourage quality music from mainly Glasgow area based bands. Over the past year a couple of guest acts have joined the agency:This year Singer songwriter Ian Davison will celebrate 50 years of writing, performing, tutoring and judging songs and remains one of the most highly respected Songwriters in these parts.Christy McGuigan hails from Rostrevor in Northern Ireland, he is a superb songwriter and great entertainer.You will find some of the other acts on here: The Scuffers, Jim King and Adriana. Other great bands providing Scottish folk music are Cruachan and Haggerdash and Jazz songwriter Christine Bovill is a bit special!You can see all the info and listen to tracks at www.tapselteeriemusic.com and there is a full gig guide there as well

My Interests

Aside from being a music fanatic- films: The Big Labowski- Oh Brother Where Art Thou and Lord of the Rings are best for me. Supporting Falkirk and Scotland - A sucker for the underdog. Travelling, going to the Edges of the country, The West Coast of Scotland is awesome.Italy has been my best visit especially Florence and Tuscany

I'd like to meet:

Other like minded people, other agents, organisers and open minded hippies, radicals, thinkers and explorers!

Music:

Have a look at the agency web site at www.tapselteeriemusic.com if you have spaces in a gig for any of the guys let us know we will do our best to bring you to Glasgow if we can shere gigs or work together.Contemporary music is fine but most of the time it has lost its fire and imagination. Rock n Roll is not a style of music it is an attitude. It is as much if not more about personal freedom and innovation as it is about music

Movies:

I love to watch Rockumentaries: Does anyone know of a dvd etc of Frank Zappa which covers his interviews as much as his music. Please recommend others

Television:

NYPD Blue Rocks!!! Its not new for me Ive watched it from the beginning its brilliant.Watch too much crap but enjoy The West Wing, Invasion. Classic tv is Monty Python and the Young Ones. Dr Who is ok.

Books:

Lord of the Rings. The Enemy Within - Seamus Milne, The Devinci Code

Heroes:

Nelson Mandela, Martin Luther King, Robert Burns, Bob Geldof, Jimi Hendrix, Bob Dylan and all four Zeps
