About Me
Born August 69. Guitarist in various bands, including Glasgow's Wild River Apples and Eden. Fell into production + engineering by accident, having given up touring when daughter was born. Nowadays generally buried in the studio each and every day, with the result that sunlight / social activity / exercise / health / normality are increasingly alien concepts.Love music of all sorts (well, as long as it's good) and wish more of the bands I work with would delve a bit more into the huuuuuge wide world of marvellous stuff there is out there to listen to (and read / watch whilst we're at it).Random assortment of must-hear artists: Stiff Little Fingers, James Carr, Aretha Franklin, Stevie Wonder, Split Enz, XTC, Public Image Limited, Otis Redding, Harold Budd, Psychedelic Furs, The Go-Betweens (RIP Grant), The Flying Burrito Brothers, Hugo Largo, The Chameleons, Wire, The Clash, The Who, Tom Waits, Brian Setzer Orchestra, Global Communications, Burning Spear, The Wailers, Stevie Wonder, Marvin Gaye, Husker Du, Echo & The Bunnymen, Dylan, The Replacements, The Stones (not just the compilations!!), Steve Earle, Dusty Springfield, Talk Talk, Warren Zevon, Talking Heads, Cocteau Twins, Jimmy Scott, Springsteen, Squeeze, The Blue Nile, Kevin McDermott Orchestra, Nick Drake, This Mortal Coil, Ivor Cutler, Elvis Costello (particularly with The Attractions on board), Bowie, Kate Bush, The Icicle Works, The Smiths, Sex Pistols, Roxy Music, Neil Young, Public Enemy, The The, Raekwon, Joy Division, Dinosaur Jr, Johnny Cash prison albums, AC/DC, Nanci Griffith, Dead Kennedys, Beth Gibbons, REM, Lyle Lovett, 1st Pharcyde album.......for starters.And every home should have a copy of The Rolling Stones' "Exile On Main Street".Airdrie for the cup!!
