Welcome
I am a singer, songwriter and musician based in Scotland. I'm not signed to a label or publishing house but I have what I think are good songs to share with you. Time was when I tried to present an image to the public that was a wishful thinking version of who I am, and what I do, but with so much spin from labels etc. I've decided to tell it like it is and shrug off the fairy tale.
So here it is. I've many years of playing and writing experience and did harbor the idea that one day I would release an album, hopefully on CD. Life has a habit of throwing you a curve ball, and it did in 1990 in the form of a back injury... a problem that has plagued me ever since. It stopped me gigging (last in 2000). Where there is a will there is a way though, and while there is hope perhaps there is a way ahead.
I planned on recording an album of songs with the aim of releasing the songs online and on CD at the begining of 2008. Well it was a good plan and somewhat out of date. The songs are written but I am having problems getting the songs recorded with my back stopping me spending time in the studio. Fortunately I have some good friends who are helping me progress things, although slowly. So who knows, the album could still happen, but I don't know the timeframe yet.
When the songs are recorded they will be made available online but the album of songs will not be available as a CD. Yet again my back prevents me from the level of activity needed to formally release and promote the album, but at least I hope to make the tracks available at some point.
Sign up for my newsletter and I will try to keep you up to date with any developments. Special thanks to Karen for helping to type up any updates and for helping me update my sites when I am unable to do so and for countless other things too.
Meanwhile you can find links to my last finished recording, one of the songs I intended putting on the album, "Awaken". This was recorded during 2003 and re-mixed in February 2005.
I do have some older tracks recorded and if I get a chance I will try and upload them to one of my music pages.
While you are here, have a listen to my tracks and if you like what you hear, please join my newsletter and, of course, tell all your friends!

News
Two new tracks are almost finished and should be released and available to listen to online by mid-February. It's taken a lot of effort and quite a bit of help but I'm almost there.
The two tracks are "Always On My Mind" (no not the Elvis classic, but an orginal work) and "I Am One". Both tracks are inspired by personal experience and I really look forward to see how they will be received. Watch this space!
