Hi there, thanks for dropping by and i hope the music resonates with you. my roots are in scotland but i hope that my music will help me and my good freinds in the band and my family to see a lot more of the world.
i believe that humanity is heading for a time of increased harmony, creativity, and peace which is based on our greater connectedness with our inner spirit. it is this that inspires me to create music.
The album is now on release, heres where ya can get it!

Hi Iain. Thanks for the ad. I'm a pal of Andy Smith and have been jealous of your fantastic album cover for a long time! Hope all is well with you and the new band. Cheers. Andy
we went to a session in one of teh pubs after, but kids weren't allowed so we waited in teh club house place upstairs for ages and ages for folk to arrive, and then only stayed till 9:30pm as the kids were sleepy.
Iain, your music really soothes the soul. We listened to all of them but the player counter thing didn't count them?!?!... hummm. Thanks for telling us about that band. We went and checked it out.... even bought a song. all the best -William Ingrid
Thanks Iain, nice to meet you too. I liked your thoughts on your page about people becoming more of a community these days - that's what Freecycle is all about isn't it? I believe in that too.
Hi Iain. How are you? It would be great if you could come to the Waggon in Kelso on Sat as we have a gig. Bring your guittar and you could do some songs if you would like? Cheers love Carly*
Hey, I'd love to have a jam soon. The music festival was so much fun! I'm down in London at the mo though. Are you coming down to play a gig here any time soon? If not then we should meet up when I'm back for christmas!
One more thing, I cant remember if i mentioned last time i saw you, but this folky/soul/jazz (or the genre's myspace describes her as!) singer/songwriter is doing a sort of private gig thingy in my mum's friend's flat in edinburgh in September. It's one of those intimate gigs i think, but i think you have to be invited so really i am here to invite you incase you'd like to go :) Here's the link to her myspace page http://profile. myspace. com/index. cfm?fuseaction=user. viewprofile&friendid=55706127
Bonjour my friend! Thank you for watching the video, its not finished or anything but its nice to have something to look at after a day's choreographing! :P Yes, we are doing a show on friday, i'm not sure if it's sold out for then or not but its Sweeney Todd at 6.15 at Greenside venue, so if you are free and can get tickets then it would be lovely to see you but if not then i'll hopefully see you soon anyway :D Love Hannah xx
Life is about attitude and relationships and if I can add value to your life with my knowledge or experience, then let me know. Keep a “no problem” attitude and remember that we are the ones that can change and get better. Make your day magnificent!
Hi Guys* Have a great gig tonight soz I cant make it. 'The House Sisters' are playing on Tuesday at Leith Folk Club it would be great to see you there* Cheers love Carly*
yes! Definately! :D Shall we bring a video camera then and we can somehow get the footage to you? Or would you like us to film a bit with whatever camera you're using to film the rest of it? And also, how much is it to get in? Or is it not a paying thing? i think hats a satisfactory amount of questions for you for one night :) Looking greatly forward to tomorrow night! Take care until then
I'm home sweet home now, but yes, st mawes is actually where anna and i went kayacking, it was so lovely! The water is just so clear and we paddled across to a big yellow house that must have wonderful views over the river. Sadly some annoying people in speedboats poured buckets of water on us:P It was still a great place though and it had such cute thatched cottages :D one day i will live in a thatched cottage! how have you been anyway? I'm looking forward to this filmed gig! See you there :)
Hello! Haha, you're too late, i've already watched it and then shown it to many friends and my family :D It's such a lovely video, it really suits your music, i love the bear looking ever thoughtful while pouring continuous cups of something or other :) And the angel bit was just beautiful in a really simplistic way :) I'm off to cornwall now with anna and my family for a week or so, but all the best with everything you may get up to until i next see you! I hear you're playing at the barrels on the 25th? we shall definately be there supporting you with a few new dance moves :P Love Hannah xx
