Music
I’m a native of Ayr, the birthplace of the poet Robert Burns. That’s about all we have in common. Like so many others, writing songs and posing with a guitar were my chosen (and only) routes to social acceptance as a teenager.
I’ve been writing songs since I was 16. Although I played my songs here and there, it wasn’t until I moved to Edinburgh in 1990 that I took it seriously. That period of writing, recording and networking laid the foundation for the albums that followed and for many of the songs I still play.
I also dabble in instrumental music. Recently I’ve learned to read and write music and have been studying classical composition styles and orchestration.
I’ve worked with many more skilled and talented people as band members and producers, and come up with quite a few albums starting in 2004 with The Wolf Who Snared The Moon. For the last few years I’ve gigged and recorded with Norman Lamont and the Heaven Sent.
The last album with the band was 2023’s Turn. My last solo album was an acoustic one in 2019, Ten Objects.
