Big Joint, Glasgow, August 25th.

Here are some pics from our "Big Joint" gig in Glasgow last Friday night (click on images to enlarge). We had a great night, how could you not with a Glasgow audience to play to!!

We would like to give a big thanks to Jake and all at the venue, and of course to Lawrence who worked tirelessly to record the show.

We'll keep you posted while mixing and if the show or recordings are up to it, we'll post samples for you to check out as soon as we can. (click image to enlarge)


More news on future projects will be appearing either here, or at the main website soon.

Please keep checking back

Bye for now

Acoustic Tour of Western Scottish Isles.

Hi to all who came to my recent acoustic gigs on the Isles of Arran, Bute and the Merrick Hotel in Seamill. I have thoroughly enjoyed the weekend, both for the music and the crack. The hospitality over there is tremendous. I’m getting so much pleasure from my solo acoustic gigs, it is an experience that I would not miss for the world. And it's a real challenge for me as a player. People who are hearing me play for the first time in this environment have no idea the damage their ear drums are being spared.

I’m very much looking forward to future dates in that area and may be bringing a small band with me for the next lot of shows. This will hopefully include percussionist extraordinaire Finn McArdle. Finn is a tremendous talent and a real gentleman who has worked with Sting and Paul Weller.

Proposed dates for these return gigs are Sept 15th/16th at the McAlpine Hotel on Arran and sometime during the first 2 weeks of November for the Regents Hotel on Bute. These dates and more will be posted here as soon as they are confirmed.

Also note, that anybody interested in the planned “Guitar Workshop Weekend” should take into consideration the photographs included in this post, as they were all taken around the location for the event. It is surely one of the most beautiful spots in the country and will make a great place to get a load of people together and obsess about all things guitar related!!. Click on the images to enlarge.

And finally.....for those of you who are regular visitors to my main website you may want to keep checking back to this page from time to time, as I intend to use it as a kind of tour diary as well as for news updates, pictures, mp3s and eventually some video links.

Look forward to seeing you all again soon....Cheers

Some New Ideas

Hi all, and welcome to my first blog, where I'm hoping to keep people interested in my work up to date on a semi regular basis from where ever I may be from week to week.

I'm fascinated at the moment by being able to share music and pics with people from all over the globe, from anywhere in the world. I have a huge amount of pictures from the road of gigs, motorway service stations, airports, hotels and B'n'Bs, views from train windows and countless freinds and aquaintences. I always thought over the last few years that it'd be a nice thing to post these as sort of an on going history/diary of my travels, so I'm now finally having a go at doing just that.

There's no major importance attached to this, but if you might be interested then please keep checking back, as some of these ideas may even evolve into reality.
