Pop/indie/folk singer-songwriter from Bathgate, Scotland. I also dabble in writing fiction. All my links can be found below:
My latest song "I Don't Want To Go Back" is going to be playing on Radio Wigwam's "Indie Jukebox" today, alongside 14 other great artists' tracks 🔥 radiowigwam.co.uk #musicsky
"1 Giant Leap" Jamie Catto and Duncan Bridgeman traveled the world with a laptop and a vision, recording musicians from different cultures and blending them into single, seamless tracks. Such a cool project, great songs too.
I'm using my beloved Sony CD Walkman much more often in 2026, to make use of those hundreds of CDs I still own! This will be an ongoing thread of random listens, for anyone interested. Album number one had to be my all-time favourite, "Sign O' the Times" by Prince 😎 #musicsky
Small numbers for some, huge for me. Soooo close to 1k...👀 open.spotify.com/track/2W6jNb...
A massive thank you to everyone who has listened to my music on Apple Music this year, especially those legends down in London ❤️
New milestone reached for one of my favourite songs "For You , Dear" 🙌 Small numbers for some; huge for me. song.link/ForYouDear
My synthpop song "Satoko" was released last December, and has been my most popular track on the streamers for most of the year since. It has a very different vibe from my other songs, and it's a style I plan to explore more in future songs. Enjoy. 🔗 song.link/satoko
And these three releases are now all "Name Your Price"
Three playlists I'm loving right now. Everything released so far by the incredible Scottish artists Silvi, Brooke Combe and Joesef. open.spotify.com/playlist/3N0... open.spotify.com/playlist/1vk... open.spotify.com/playlist/3Oy...
Modelling my new guitar strap (kudos if you recognise where it's from) while polishing my rather rusty singer-songwriter stagecraft. The background is fake, I just preferred it to my bedroom 😁
It's still incredible (to me) the creative power you can have with just these four items.
My guitar case needs some more stickers, I think 🤔
It's all making sense to me now. My song "Satoko" is clearly the motivational song being played in the AC Milan dressing room ♥️🖤
Throwback to meeting one of my guitar heroes, Bernard Butler, last year in Edinburgh after his gig at The Voodoo Rooms ♥️
This Sunn Mustang was my first guitar—a gift from my parents in 1994. I still have it, though I don't play it as often now. It's a Stratocaster copy made in India in the early 1980s, under license from Fender. It's also surprisingly heavy compared to modern copies and even genuine Strats.
This morning's chilled video game soundtrack is "Citizen Sleeper" composed by Amos Roddy. One of my favourites.
One of my highlights this year was converting music royalties/sales into buying better equipment. For example, I finally upgraded my keyboard after 30+ years.
Thank you to everyone who listened to my music this year ♥️ #SpotifyWrapped
Post a *perfect* album from the 90s that isn't Nirvana, Pearl Jam, Soundgarden, or Alice in Chains.
An updated all-time favourite soundtrack was released today, "Silent Hill 2" by Akira Yamaoka. This was a key video game for me in my late teens, still in my top 10. Never before or since has a soundtrack hit me as hard as this—it was absolutely perfect for the vibe of this game. Are you a fan?
Before joining Threads and Bluesky, almost no one listened to my music. Since then, I've been blown away by the love and support that people have shown towards me and my songs. I've also discovered so many incredibly talented indie artists. The spirit of community is very strong here. Thank you!
