I play guitar with the MacCollective, The Treacherous Orchestra and Samling. The MacCollective is a Highland trio who play traditional and original scottish tunes and accompaniment from the Highlands using fiddle, guitar and piano. The Treacherous Orchestra is a thirteen strong 'testostrone fuelled, high octane, premier league cocktail of tunes and grooves'. Samling is a five-piece group who are exploring the musical and cultural connections between Norwegian and Gaelic song. I played with the now defunkt electro folk funk band Croft No. Five for a memorable 8 years - great gigs and great times we're had. I'm now a studio engineer at La Chunky towers in Finnieston, Glasgow which is a great studio run by Ronan and Colin. Next in the pipeline are some remixes of select tracks of great scottish bands and musicans that I know... also coming is some of my own new Scottish electro music - have a listen to some new tracks above for a taster...
Hey Spad, Great music!!! That would be cool, we should discuss some ideas. As well as the live VJ'ing, I'm getting into shooting music vids so we should talk about that as well.
After you've finished here, you may like to hear this poem sung on myspace...
Poem 2 of 230, WalkaboutsVerse (please see my blog): WALKABOUT WITH MY PEN
Once drove an old sedan, up north, From a place in Sydney to Cairns; Then to Kuranda I went forth, By train, to look without set plans.
I browsed through the trendy market, With fresh fruits of tropical kind; Walked to the creek through lush thicket - Nature’s hand giving peace of mind.
I dined in a scenic cafe; Then, outside, as I wrote for yen, Some passing Kooris called-out: “Hey, You go walkabout with your pen.”
Request or question, I don’t know - Assured voices, elderly men. That’s now several years ago, And I’ve seen the world - with my pen.
