On yer bike!
May 19th
So, 2 years ago I played at the Caledonia Harley Club’s Wallace Rally in Stirling as part of Andi Neate’s entourage (or is that chapter?).
This year we’re back! 4 days of bikes, beer and bands with yours truly opening up on Thursday. I’ll be doing a solo set, followed by a solo set from the lovely Inge, then we’ll both be joining Andi Neate for the headline as her band (me on double-bass).
Now, if you don’t drive a Harley, and you haven’t pre-booked then you’re not getting in, so to make up for that – here’s a picture of me on a bike…
A couple of free gigs coming up at the start of June though – Acoustic Edinburgh on June 2nd and I’m back to the Aragon Acoustic Sunday sessions in Glasgow on the 7th.
Hope to see you at one of those!

Where did Winter go? : ) I’m not a fan, so I headed to the Southern Hemisphere for 5 weeks which is why it’s been so long since I posted. Since getting back I’ve been a busy bee rehearsing and gigging with Gecko 3, Andi Neate, The Gospel Truth Choir and Dajo. I’ve also been helping my mate Douglas Kay with a bit of mixing for his new album which is a nice follow on from us doing a bit of touring together in Western Australia.
More on the tour in another post but I have to tell you about my next solo gig which is this Friday in The Tron basement (Hunter’s Square, Edinburgh). Headlining is the incredible Susanna MacDonald and there is support from Bag of Bags (who’s tech spec includes a cello, clarinet, and musical saw, amongst other instruments)!
Hopefully you can make it along!
This Friday May 8th 8pm!
