Pictures/Review/Videos

Here are some pics from recent gigs. Big thanks to Baz Simpson and Iain Holden for taking these!  It's been top time recently playing gigs with loads of great musicians.   Had a great night playing at the 13th Note with The Rag and Bone Man, Rulers of the Root and Charlie Rivers.  It was also a top night in the Vagabond social Club with the excellent music of Miss Irenie Rose and Mathew J Malone!

Also a small review has turned up.   Here are some nice words from American Roots UK about my album Busy with the Blues.
.
Busy with the Blues - (2013)
A really good solo album of rural acoustic blues by a talented Scottish bluesman. Can’t be many better quality musicians playing this music in the UK, thanks to his very good songwriting, his excellent vocals and superb guitar playing. Poor (home?) recording quality on some tracks just adds to the atmosphere.


You can Buy the album here from Cheap Wine Records.

I'm also pleased to say I have a couple of new videos to share.  The first is a song written by Mike Snow called So Wrong..  Mike has came up with some great lyrics again and I hope you enjoy this one!

So Wrong

I've also done a cover of this old country song called Driving Nails in my Coffin.  I hope you enjoy!


Thanks for stopping by

More news coming soon!

cheers
