I write about the things I love (Like, duh! Who doesn't? - Ed) such as family, friends, landscape, heroes, my favourite pub. I hope you like these tunes. If not, never fear! I have others! If you do want to hear more, I have two cds, Hard-Boiled Eggs & Nuts, and Why Don't You Do Something To Help Me? They're eight of your Earth pounds, or both of them in a SPECIAL BOX SET (ie held together with a LIMITED EDITION elastic band) for 14 quids!
I'm lucky to own a Tacoma Thunderhawk acoustic baritone guitar. Here's a picture of one, complete with Bill Frisell cardboard cut-out guitar stand.
Sadly any resemblance between me and the mighty Bill ends with our choice of instrument.

Iz easy - fingehs go on guitar laik this. K? Now u tryz it.
I'm also approximately fifty per cent of a duo with Gary Boyle, groovy jazz guitarist extraordinaire. He began his musical career in the 60s with Dusty Springfield's band. He was the founder member of 70s fusion band Isotope, played with Soft Machine, and made several great solo records including Electric Glide, The Dancer, and Games. More recently he's formed Sketch with folk singer Maggie Boyle and bassist Dave Bowie(!). Their debut was released last year. He's also started to play fusion again - HURRAH!

Hi Angus, thanx for listening and for your kind words.Your music sounds absolutely great.My deepest Respect! You're right. YES had their time in the 70's (just say Close to the Edge)RUSH lost their magic in the late 80's (sadly enough)Pat is great but he should take a listen to your stuff, to get an impression of what can be done on a baritone ;-) OK. Tony has a unique Sound but i consider him more as a bass player than a stick player. Nice to find you among my friends now. Greetings, Daniel
Dan & Dave’s new venture - Long Trick – have just come out of the studio. Listen to the first three rough mixes at www.myspace.com/longtrickmusic . More should go up in the next week or two – best still to come !!
Angus. Duncan here. I would just like to thank you for cds that Simon passed on. We all like your music, and my daughter found them quite inspiring and seems to have given her an extra interest towards composing. Many thanks Duncan
