  • Music

    Something from my band Cantrip here, but watch out for Szimpla, coming soon...

  • Movies

    Anything by the Cohen brothers, but Barton Fink and Oh Brother Where Art Thou especially. Pretty well anything by Studio Ghibli too - Spirited Away's the current favourite there. And absolutely anything by Terry Gilliam. They're all great, so no favourites there.

  • Television

    Not a lot, really... My kids love Horrid Henry, so i never miss an episode of that...

  • Books

    Anything at all by: Terry Pratchett, Neil Gaiman, Bill Bryson, Louis de Benieres, Garth Nix, Robin Hobb, J K Rowling, Alan Moore, Carol Berg, Douglas Adams, Nick Hornby. I also spend far too much time reading various books of/about music.

  • Heroes

    Peter Gabriel, Django Reinhardt, Bill Hicks, in no particular order. If you don't know who any one of these guys is or was, shame on you. Go find out.

About me:

How nice of you to ask. Well, aside from my age, where I'm from, all that stuff up in the corner by my picture, I do music of all sorts. After training classically at the RSAMD, I came upon (by way of Goth rock - don't ask)Scottish traditional stuff, which is great and I'd recommend to anyone. Right now I play with fellow myspacers Cantrip and James Yorkston. Last year I recorded a couple of tracks with King Creosote. I'm sure he'd put one or two of them up on his site if you asked him politely - he's a nice man. In the past I've played with Malinky, Mikel Urdangarin, Deaf Mutes, Burach and many others, mostly too embarassing to mention. ..You should create your own MySpace Layouts like me by using nUCLEArcENTURy.COM's MySpace Profile Editor!..

Who I'd like to meet:

    Evening.


    Glad ya didn't want the Prods track pulled, 'cos I don't have any Geese-related material from that era...all our visits to studios to make demos were...umm...uniformly terrible (even one out at Split Level).


    Yours, as ever, living in the past :-)
