Ghost Ghost
A song written for the most fantastic person I knew growing up, sadly no longer with us. Love you Mags.
Cross the border, are an Anglo-Scottish amalgam, and is the love-child of 2 mad musicians. They met, on myspace (but that's not as good as Soundclick.com ;-P)
Sketchy - Guitar, didnt rate his own voice!
Stoo Nicol - Vocals, didnt rate his own playing!
One memorably dull night, Stoo asked if sketchy had any new tunes. Sketchy obliged and Stoo then sent him Ghost and shadows! The rest as they say is history!
Drawing from styles including Folk/Rock/Blues/Soul, its a combination of (mainly) Acoustic guitar and Powerful vocals!
Stoo has been described as having a "mighty set of pipes"!!! and Sketchy was answered when he asked "Can I kick it?" By "Yes you Can!"Have you performed in front of an audience?We enjoy playing live more than anything, playing in Glasgow, Kent and Fife.

Beautiful! I love your song. The lyrics are wonderful. I'm a big fan of folk music and Steph MacLeod so I thought I would check out your page. I'm just a listener here on Soundclick, but have done a few lyrics for my brother Jamey Darnold, who has a page. Anyway, great tune and lovely soft tone to your voice!!!
