On my recording I was lucky enough to have these people help out for free!

Adam Campbell: lead guitars, harmonica

Andy White: keyboards

Loren: backing vocals

Chris Pickering: mandolin

I sang and played acoustic guitars and banjo

The acoustic guitars, the mandolin and the electric guitar on "Miss you so" were all made by my father... a very talented man

Influences

people who sacrifice any chance of leading a normal and safe existence by following their passion for creating art. many of them fall by the wayside unnoticed by the majority, never knowing the small yet positive impact they may have had. people who "spend it all" (RIP richard manuel). people who realise this is it- this is life and its all we have. people who know there is no god... and still want to be the best person that they can. people who grab hold of opportunities when they present themselves... even if it varies from their long term plans. people who follow their heart. people with the ability and dedication to communicate.

   About Luke Foran

Im not going to write this in third person as though it is someone elses opinion of me and my music. When someone writes me a bio I will add it to this. Here is what I think of me.

Im not the best guitar player in the world... not even close. I admire great guitarists but will never be one. Im not the most perfect singer in the world- though i would like to be. I hit wrong notes and I forget words to my own songs sometimes. I write about me, or people around me and things that have actually happened. I cant make things up that contain no truth at all. It feels like lying. I made up a song once... then it actually happened. I wont do that again.

I have played at most of the venues in Brisbane. I have been on a national tour of Australia, and done two brief tours of the South Island of New Zealand. Many of the musicians whom I admire the most are my friends, and I have had the privilege of performing with them, both on the same bill, and as part of their show. I also play in a band called Galleons Lap, with my favourite musicians and people in Brisbane.

I have no expectation of ever "making it" as a musician. Life is too cruel and the music industry is too fickle.

Check out our new blog and let your mind wander...

http://planetofthescrapes.blogspot.com/

"Also hugely enjoyable, highly original AND psychically useful is the music of Australian duo The Scrapes, whose fiery epic guitar and abandoned Mithraic fiddle pieces evoke images of lost Keltic lands inundated by the oceans, lost Iberian & Armorican sea peoples and lost times from beyond the beyond." Julian Cope
