background / biography
I am an acoustic fingerstyle guitar player and songwriter out of (well, still in) Scotland - for the time being that'd be the north-east part that sticks out into the North Sea like a slumped shoulder. Google-map Banchory and you'll see my town (wee toon) is a grouse's flutter from Her Majesty's holiday cottage, Balmoral. The salmon in the Dee hereabouts is more famous than the grouse.
None of this has had any inspirational value on my songwrtiting which even superficial scrutiny will reveal a preoccupation with more organic phenomena. It is what it is - and if my playing gives the impression of a deep desire to get the song over and done with as quickly as possible, it is a merely a legacy of playing some of the dodgiest bars in Antwerp, Belgium, in the late 1970s.
Still, I maintain the burning desire that you will enjoy - even empathise - with some of my songs which are laid out like abandoned orphans here...
Cheers'n all!
