If you are interested here's a quick shameless bio...
Born in the Highlands of Scotland, in the town of Wick in the County of Caithness, a "durty Weeker" if you are from Thurso! Brought up in Tain, Ross-shire, also lived in Inverness before landing in the USA.
These days I live in Katy, Texas. I've been in the States for almost 10 years.
In 2005 I formed the "sometimes" progressive Celtic band known as Murder the Stout. We play your usual Irish & Scottish standards led by Wicklow man Gerard Bride. We have been compared to "Clancy Brothers on Red Bull".
I also play "teuchter music" for Scottish Ceilidh & Country dancing with Kendall Rogers, a top class keyboard and bodhran player.
Recently I've been accompanying some very fine singers, GLASGOW GIRL JOANN GILMARTIN & JED MARUM who's based in Dallas, Texas. I'm about to join Jed & his band of buddies on his latest musical project LONESTAR STOUT.
Last year I returned home to Scotland where I played with brilliant Edinburgh band THE DEAD BEAT CLUB , who recently released their superb debut album RANDOM HEARTFELT TRINKETS.

Gosh... my Fulham boys do challenge me but they saved their best for last! RANGERS!!! They have really captured my heart. I am recording the game so don't tell me what happens!
Thank you, Hugh! You were so sweet to think of me for my birthday. How was the Dram? I was Curling in Canada - and wishing I had brought my KILT! Are you coming out to California this year???

Hey Ho 'Big squeezer' I see that you're doing 'Private Functions' now. I've done private funtions in the past, and I have to say that some of them were physically challenging, if not musically. RULE 1. USE PROTECTION. RULE 2. Follow rule 1. RULE 3. Follow rule 2. Those 'winging it' gigs can really hurt your ego. I kid you not. Oh, and there is a brilliant new comedy on BBC now called 'Gavin and Stacey' which I recommend to you, now in series 2, which should be available online on the BBC website.
Hey Hugh, Cead Mile Failte. You are most welcome on our space. We're glad to have your friendship. Love your music, great songs. Really good stuff man!
