Hello I play guitar and write tunes in Swåp, Namo, Timber and play as a duo with Niklas Roswall.I also tour and make records with multi instrumentalist John McCusker and singers Kate Rusby, Eddi Reader and Kris Drever. Some my tunes have been covered ( Diamond Mountain by Sharon Shannon;the Seagull by Darol Anger) and I..ve produced a couple of records-(Eilidh Shaw and Fine Friday). That..s it. Oh and I teach guitar sometimes. AND I..ve been playing with the wonderful Sofia Karlsson and her brilliant band. AND I..ve just learned to play twinkle twinkle little star at suzuki violin class.

After you've finished here, you may like to hear this folk-carol on myspace... Poem 230 of 230, WalkaboutsVerse (see my blog for details): CHRISTMAS SUNG SIMPLY
As gospellers have said, Beneath signalling skies, On land dusty to tread, A trough in a stable Was the strawy first-bed Of a divine baby - The forgiving Godhead.
A season for new hope - There then and here now; The yuletide of goodwill - There then and here now.
In respect of this chance, Beneath bright or dark skies, Faith's the star that we glance Attending Christ's churches And trying to enhance, With singing and ritual, Our God-loving stance.
LATEST NEWS New John Miller album should be finished by Christmas. Hope to have copies available by late January/early February. I'll let you know when it's ready. Johnny M

Poem 162 of 230, WalkaboutsVerse (please see my blog): TEES TO TYNE: FIRST IMPRESSIONS - SUMMER 2001
Where traditions are not so rare; Sea, country and works scent the air; A multitude of monuments, Planted tubs and patterned pavements.
The longish pedestrian malls; The remnants of defensive walls; Historic buildings are a gauge Of the respect for heritage.
Wheat, rape and pines in the fields; Estuaries guarded by shields; Long sandy beaches and wide scenes; Romantic-ruin go-betweens.
Rivers in parts licked by trees, Or fringed by boat clubs, wharfs, gantries, And crossed by practical delights - Varied spans, forming pleasing sights.
Fine churches headed at Durham; Football kits ad infinitum; Kept castles - one for study; Masonry behind masonry.
And, with moulding-works out that way, It’s somewhere for a longer stay..?
