About me: As the name would suggest I'm one of the people responsible for the group/recording project The Stone Ghost Collective. I write the songs with Brendan McAndrew and there's loads of other people involved who sing and play various instruments. We record and produce all of the songs at my little Stone Ghost Studio in Galashiels!
Our current EP is called 'The Unrequited Love EP' and it's available for download from ITunes, Napster, Amazon MP3, Rhapsody and other stores.
Brendan and I were two of the people behind the short lived but much loved underground music magazine Sun Zoom Spark. When we packed that in a bunch of us were signed up by Warner Bros as the group Dawn of the Replicants. I helped write and record 5 studio albums with DOTR!
