My biggest influence is David Gray, he's just awesome, the lyrics, the voice, the emotion thats in the songs, he's got it all. Also a big fan of Damien Rice, another awesome songwriter. Ray Lamontagne, Tom Baxter. Noel gallagher of Oasis is massive to me, can't wait to here his solo project, a pure legend. kelly jones of the phonics writes great tunes.. Generally a fan of songs that hold emotion and make a connection. I listen to almost anything to be honest. Hey, who knows, maybe someday I'll be on someones influence box!!

You'll have to tell me 'cause i aint got a clue! Some people say David Gray, I hope people remember me for sounding like ME!
After being in various bands that seem to be going nowhere i've decided to go it alone, after all, the only person i can fall out with is myself! Been playing for many a year now and done numerous gigs with bands and quite a few stand alone acoustic dates.... my favorites of which were a few open mic nights in london. Thats where i first got to play my own songs and they seemed to go down very well. I'm currently just recording at home though some basic equipment but hope to progress to a full studio later in the year where my songs can be brought to life with the help of some session musicans. I know the quality isn't great at the mo but it gives you a basic idea of my sound. Enjoy...... Oh, Leave a comment and let me know what you think, cheers.

O- Hi-dee-hi jamie scott heatlie (I'm guessing this IS, DEFINITELY your real, proper name, deed poll name- myspace eh :) ) its so very nice to meet your acquaitance, and thanking you muchly for being my (our) friend.
I hope you enjoyed our tunes - I thought you might do judging by the stuff you seem to be into like - if you fancy a couple of our mp3s for you ipod/nonbrandedmp3 player - then just ping me your email address back for our mailing list (info about gigs and the like) OR just click here on these here words and I'll sort that out for you, probably in the next couple of days, quite busy.
Forgive the indulgence jamie scott heatlie but I've just worked out how to do this so i'm gonna put it in here - its a video of us playing one of the songs we would send to you live @ Bull and Gate last month just to show you what it may be like (err ok stu) hope thats ok :)
We've got a London gig Friday 11th July (so not really that close to you if I'm being honest ha ha :), but who knows ? and besides, everyone needs a holiday once in a while to remind them of how lucky they are to live somewhere where there are fewer than 10million people in a few square miles:))
Thank You For You. Your Presence On My Page Is Greatly Appreciated. For Anyone To Lay It All On The Line And Expose Their Heart In Anyway Is What Stardom Is All About. Fortunately, MySpace Affords Us This Opportunity. For Me, Just Being Hear Is A Blessing. I’ve Got Friends All Over The World Now. Connecting With You Is One Of The Best Things That Could Ever Happen In My Life. Again, I Would Like To Thank You For Participating In A Great And Wondrous Time.
Nah unfortunately I can't, I'm going to see The Fray, but I'd really like to play cos that Additional Moog band Kev's got coming sound really really good!
Alas no, that was my brother who played - I think he did about 10 songs but I'm not sure as I wasn't there, but the rugby was on at the same time as he was playing so the crowd may have been a bit dismissive - just play it by ear mate, I'm sure you'll go down well!

Alright Jamie mate. Nov 2nd's line-up is really looking good, i've managed to get a band from Oswestery down to do an acoustic headline set - they're really good, check out Additional Moog HERE. Anyway if you can get to the venue as early as you can we can have everything ready to start for 7.30. You'll probably be on around 2nd/3rd if you're good with that? (8.30ish your set will start)
