Stonehaven Radio Station and Me – Official Video!

Tuesday, March 13th, 2012

It’s with great delight that I announce the launch (eventually) of the official video for my song ‘Stonehaven radio Station and Me’. It was filmed and edited by my good friend Mr Craig Rian. It was shot at Signature Sound Studio in San Diego, CA. The song itself is all based on stories from my youth as I traveled Scotland following Aberdeen FC with my Uncle Gordon and his colleagues at the Stonehaven ship to shore radio station. Please Enjoy:

Happy New Year from…………me!

Sunday, January 1st, 2012

Well, 2011 was a great year for me. Toured several times, wrote new songs, met new friends, saw new Countries, got a lot of radio play, played on the Telly, won a San Diego Music Award, filmed a couple of tours, played on the Isle of Skye, enjoyed many, many nights of laughter, music and ‘drink’ all while having my lovely wife with me. However, most importantly, the news I’m going to be a Father was by far and away the best of the best (once it sunk in)!!

I look forward to all the new exciting things that will happen in 2012 and will continue to focus on the postives as opposed to the negatives which will be discarded like a fireball into Stoney harbour!

2012 for me will be a tale of 3 Dragons, and I’m going to embrace it with a lot of energy. As for the Mayans, they can kiss my arse! 🙂

Have a great New Year everybody, I hope your 2012 will be everything you want it to be!

San Diego Music Award

Tuesday, August 9th, 2011

It’s with great delight (and a slightly sore heid) I can announce, I won ‘Best Acoustic Act’ at the 2011 San Diego Music Awards! I thanked a few people last night in my acceptance speech but there are so many more I wish I could have thanked before getting the stage hook! 🙂

This win was down to all my friends and fans who voted for me and pushed the name out there. It’s a messy business but we got there in the end. Without you this couldn’t and wouldn’t have happened. I love you all.
Cheers
