I'm a Scottish musician and writer (you can check out some short stories on http://www.short-stories.co.uk). I play a 34-string harp (it's called a clarsach), and guitar, and other instruments, and sing. It's mainly traditional stuff, but I write some tunes as well. I listen to a lot of flamenco, arabic, greek, and turkish music, a lot of classical, especially early and baroque, and I love a dance beat. It all shows in my music.
