Here, There and Everywhere
I thought I’d try a new format for this post, the prospect of mentioning all the things I wanted to in the old format was a bit daunting. Hopefully this is a good way to digest it for you too. Let me know in the comments at the bottom.
If you’re in a hurry, the headlines are: I Supported Frightened Rabbit. I Released my EP. I Played some more gigs. I did a House remix of Don’t Lead Me On from the EP and plan to do more. I played a live radio session. I’m writing a lot of new songs at the moment. The gallery below has more details for you, just hover over a picture for some narrative or click for a closer look. First up is a video from the FRabbit gig!

Thanks to everyone who’s bought the ‘Memories + Tragedies’ EP so far…if you’d like to get yourself a copy it’s now available online from:

And from the following shops:

- Avalanche Records, Edinburgh (Grassmarket)
Lastly: I played a live session on Celtic Music Radio, online and broadcast MW. You can catchup listen at http://t.co/7sqz1Fs Pretty much an hour of music, chat about Scotland qualifying for the World Cup, a few live tunes & chat from me and one track from the EP.
At the risk of cursing myself: I’m writing at a rate of noughts at the moment, completely loving it and raring to get the new stuff out live. Where the first EP mostly evolved from songs I could play a reasonable rendition of live and on my own, at the moment I’m getting to write with the luxury of knowing “I have a live band to play this stuff with”. As a result the new tunes are probably a good bit punchier and less navel-gazing. But I’ll let you be the judge of that when you see them live. In the mean-time check out the EP cos it’s all you’re getting!
OK, twist my arm, here’s that house remix I did with my ex-Scottish Unis Basketball team-mate Daniel Donnelly who is an excellent house DJ and remixer. More of these to follow. (4:19 to 5:00 is my favourite bit)
