Bio

I've been writing, recording, gigging (almost every venue in Glasgow and travels up and down motorways in the auld white van), bands as diverse as the punk noise of The Vague in 76 to the industrial clangs of Abraxas in the early 90s. Two of the bands I was in enjoyed a measure of success in the late 80's early 90's, The clan spamborskee and Zoomshanka, both bands gigging around the UK and getting radio play, press and record company attention. I’ve also played with some of the best and most creative musicians from the mid 70s on, including the guys from Test Department who opened my eyes even wider tae all the possibilites.
I Don't believe in listing things by genre, it's all just sounds anyway and when every damn thing on the planet is categorised how can we hope tae find the new? My own stuff consists of song, electronic, ambient and experimental....skanked up, psychedelic, dub, punk rock blues. When I'm working on sounds on my own I really just jam with myself (ooh er missus) so most of my own tracks are first or second take (I don't believe in perfection...perfection is an echo of something beautiful) and I only start things off with a rough idea which usually morphs into something totally different.
