I won an award...at the inaugural Scottish Jazz Awards on 22nd June in Glasgow - the 'Jazz Guitar' category...needless to say I'm surprised, delighted etc. I'm also equally pleased that Paul Harrison (from the organ trio) was similarly honoured in the Piano category :-)
The Red Note Ensemble are playing one of my new pieces ('cut & paste' - written for clarinet, 'cello and double-bass) next Monday (29th June) at The Arches in Glasgow!
News March 2009
The Scottish Guitar Quartet are back...!!!
We have two shows initially and more to come later in the year - if you'd like to see some old footage of the band (from 2003!) there are a good few videos up on YouTube! ...these are up there thanks to the great, and very time-consuming, work of Steve Wright @ TV2Day.net...thanks, Steve!!!
News September 2008
The CD with Adam Bulley 'Two Days Away' is done - if you'd like a copy, please get in touch! (also check out our MySpace site - the link is below in the 'Friends' section). The SOT have just done some great shows with Tam White and we'll be touring next year (2009) - dates will come up as they're confirmed. I'm also writing away as ever - some string quartet pieces and various other work as it comes along. I'm also working on some tracks with the wonderful Jacqui Hicks - which is very exciting!
Scores
I've been uploading my scores, slowly, on to a really cool site:
http://www.scotchsnap.com
please check it out. eventually I aim to have everthing on there!
Sessions
I've been doing a few 'online' sessions and would love to do more so if you've got any tracks you'd like me to play on I'd be very up for talking about that (send me a message before you send any tracks!).
Composition
I've been writing loads of new music for my solo CD and also for the SGQ etc. please keep checking out MYSPACE for demos!
Youtube!
I'm starting to put some stuff up on youtube (myself, the trio and the guitar quartet) it should be easy enough to find - just search for my name or Scottish Guitar Quartet etc.
