I've been writing and playing songs since teenage years in folk clubs and pubs. I organise the Friday night live music session at the Cobbles Inn, Kelso, Scotland with the help of many friends. All welcome! This main page now has an entirely fingerstyle guitar instrumental playlist, but there doesn't seem to be a way to play it in order. Also, I don't like this page design, but all the other page designs disable the lofi/hifi play buttons on the 'Lyrics/Story' pages. Since this is the only way you can send a URL for a single song to anyone, I have to stick with this design instead of the rather cooler alternatives.

Many thanks to all who made 'Valentine's Day Massedguitars' (which will get a new name soon) a No 1 for Acoustic Guitar and top ten floater in overall Acoustic! You're obviously guitar instrumental guys and gals... I have now re-named the tune 'Into the Light'.

I now have a YouTube page and have started doing some video recordings for fun:

Why this name?
Born with it! And when you find my bandname on the lyrics pages of traditional songs, it does not mean I wrote them. It means Soundclick automatically puts my name above the lyrics and my copyright below them, even if they have been around a few hundred years.
Do you play live?
I play live, mainly for local events in pubs, restaurants and at festivals, fairs and markets. Much of this involves accompanying other musicians and they in turn accompany me.
How, do you think, does the internet (or mp3) change the music industry?
This is now an old question. It's changed it. This is where we are now.
Would you sign a record contract with a major label?
No. I would distribute my own CDs, have done it in the past, and will do so again. I am not 'authentic' or young enough to be of interest to Scottish folk/trad labels.
Band History:
Did a lot from 1968 to 1972, took a long break to do some work, started doing stuff again in 1996. Sound familiar?
Your influences?
Been rethinking this one. Countless early influences but Steeleye Span, Fairport, Pentangle, Jansch, Renbourn, most so. Today, Tony McManus, Ian Melrose, Pierre Bensusan, and countless local musicians in Scotland.
Favorite spot?
Right now, a toss up between Bottom Bay or Bathsheba on Barbados.
Equipment used:
I record using AKG C2000B, Behringer C2 (twin), small Yamaha mixing desk, various preamps and a Roland VS880EX digital 8-track converted to operate with CompactFlash.
Anything else...?
I import guitars, bouzoukis and mandolas from Romania to my own specifications, and sell them through www.troubadour.uk.com. It's a sideline to my main work, as a photographic magazine editor and publisher. I enjoy helping create these instruments and sending them out to their first owners.
