Emerald Sunday – Saltwater

Thursday, September 21st, 2023

My friends over at Emerald Sunday (Dundee based rock band) are releasing a new single called ‘Saltwater’ on the 29th of September. It’ll be on all digital platforms. I’m honoured to make a guest appearance on the harmonica.

It’s a lovely acoustic song that was written by Wesley Watts. Wesley was a good friend of Alan in the band and sadly he passed away earlier this year before he got a chance to record any of his songs. It’s a lovely tribute to him, please go and check out the band and the song when its released!

Cheers

I’m delighted to announce that I’m currently working on a new single (more details in the link below).
Despite the current complexities of everyday life that is 2021 we are working hard to get single out as soon as feasibly possible.

The intention is to bring the single out complete with a wonderful accompanying music video by Aberdeen based filmmaker.

In order to make this intention a reality, I truly need YOUR help in funding this process.

New Music Alert!!

Friday, July 3rd, 2020

I can finally announce that I’ll be releasing a new single during August 2020. I’ll have more details very soon!!!

COMING SOON!!!!!

New Album, Pastures New, errrrrrm DVD release????.

Saturday, May 18th, 2013

Once again I find myself back in ol’ Blighty for a few weeks, I will be here a lot more soon, more on this later

Where do I start with regards to the last few months…..well, I finished recording my brand new studio album out at Analog Chew Studio in Santee, California. Once again, Mr Alan Sanderson is on Production and Engineering duties and did a terrific job. Alongside him we had the Brazilian Wizard Pedro Talarico who is a very valuable member of the team (it truly was such a great team effort). Actually, before we pop the corks, throw this bad boy in shrinkwrap and start selling it to the masses at StarBuck’s we have a few very small things to record / tweak (blah blah blah) in an overdub sense but it’s pretty much done.

Thanks to Jerry Sisti and Zach at Analog Chew who were incredibly hospitable and profesional. Special shout out to his brother (John Sisti), who took some amazing photographs of the session (will air some soon). Everybody involved did an amazing job. The general consensus is that we have created something emotional, something special, however…thats not really for us to decide, is it!? Much chest bumping, high fiving, whisky cracking etc has been had but we still have a lot of work to do in a mixing and finessing sense. Also, I’m working on a special guest or two! More later.

I won’t say too much about the new album at the minute other than we recorded 11 songs, a couple have been in my set for a while but most are new. The album title is also the title of one of the songs…….. I know, I know, I always feel that it’s a bit of a cop out when acts do that but the title just fits the general vibe of the album, plus the title is great and the track is really great too………hmmmm, well that’s really not up to me either (right?), the wife has told me to rein it in a bit (as always….she’s Scottish) as I get too excited (not visibly of course being Scottish) and tend to bump my gums about it, more with regards to what a great job everybody did than anything else. 🙂 One more thing I shall say is, I stepped out of my comfort zone for some of these songs and I left everything in the studio……….I was knackered for about 2 weeks afterwards:)

OK, the main reasons I can’t say too much about the release of this new album yet is that I first have the ‘small’ matter of moving from San Diego, California back home to Aberdeen, Scotland. After several years myself and the family are heading back to our homeland. I’ll be posting a date and venue for a ‘See you soon’ soiree of sorts in San Diego, CA for all our Southern Californian friends.

Finally, Mr Craig Rian continues to follow me about like Paparazzi to Kim Kardashians arse, he filmed the whole recording process and we continue to capture great stuff for the mooted DVD release. What can I say? It will be done when it’s done!!! 🙂

I hope to see you somewhere down the line sometime, somehow…….. soon.

Love
