About Me

Hi, I'm a singer songwriter from Edinburgh.

I'm pretty slow at writing songs but there are a good few coming together and I have a view to recording really soon.

You can catch me most Thursdays at Meridian near the bottom of Leith Walk (next to KFC) and I should be playing more in the near future.

anyway you can get me at [email protected] it's a fairly inventive e-mail address I know.

Bad songs
