I'm a soloist as far as the music on here is concerned - although I do play with other people - mostly in duos at the moment,with Maggie Boyle,and Brian PetersBand/artist history
Untroubled by fame and worldly success I have nevertheless been a professional musician since 1979 - 25 years now.I started out with a band called Iona,then another called Dab Hand,followed mainly by solo work.The more experienced I become,the more I love music.Have you performed in front of an audience?I play live regularly,touring mainly the uk,but also abroad occasionally.

Hi Gordon
I am already a huge fan of your work having heard you live several times. But it is great to have access to some of the tracks not yet out on CD. Like all the very best artists, you go on experimenting and evolving all the time. Your latest album testifies this. Your voice is exquisite and haunting, the flute, guitar and synth are all used sensitively to enhance the songs and your own compositions are particularly profound. Thank you.
