just me and my martin. I gave up smoking to buy the guitar and everyone who plays it says it plays itself. All I know is that it plays itself every day.
Influences
Life in all its wonder.
Laughter in all its pleasure
Living in all its pain
However I adore bob dylan,bruce springstein, crosby stills and nash, eric clapton, sandy denny, joni mitchel, james taylor, the beatles , lena marlin to mention a few.

me in all MY wonder and on a good day with the wind behind me and no fags myself! I also think I must have been binge drinking when I wrote this. maybe it would be fairer to say dont know
Got guitar for 48th birthday and discovered if you move yer fingers around yer can make MUSIC!!! so thats what I do and sing a bit to make it interesting. I started writing my own songs about 2 years ago and it is brilliant when you do a gig and people sing along to yer tunes! I gigged in Edinburgh during the festival last August and had a great time. The people were ace. If you were there, get in touch. Played again this year and it was even better. was sharing the stage with sometop artistes I also busked and that was wicked! The crowd sang along. I love playing and I do some mean Dylan covers. If anyone knows of cheap non surgical facelifts (other than a balaclava). I would be interested to find out.
I played 0n the local radio have a listen here

As a PS As one who has been an anti-capuitalist all his life, I understand how capitalism exploits, nay, screws the working class. But (and I hate the word) to compromise, it wouldn't be so bad if it wasn't so fuckin' blatant a rip off. No Bourgious performer would have tolerated such crap organisation. And why should we?
Teething problems, my dear friend? More like terminal and fatal gum disease. It did nothing to put the area on the map. The crippled infant needs putting in the midwife's bag and throwing on the fire! Not that I'm complaining! Love and Alsithee
Hope you're enjoying the Fest. But what an almighty cock-up. Talk about piss-ups in Breweries. More like FurnessFustFiasco. No Ambulance, no para-medics, no proper facilities for performers, no decent grub vans, no decent ale, no covered shelter for smokers, no facilities for the disabled...... I've been going to festies for nearly 40 years and I can say for the couple of hours we were there, the patients in Dane Garth could have done better. Not that I'm complaining!
