About Me |
|
| I've been playing the accordion since I was 5 years old (can't actually remember not playing an accordion..) and the piano since I was 14. I started off with Scottish trad music but against my will at the time moved to classical music for a few years then it was back to the world of trad for a while playing in ceilidh bands. I've been working as a session musician for the last 7 years and I have been lucky enough in that time to record and perform with many amazing artists and musicians including Yusuf Islam (Cat Stevens), Sir Paul McCartney, Maartin Allcock, Rick Nowels, Craig David, Nick Bict & Dr Fred Freeman. I recorded my first album 'long road' in 1999 then recorded two albums (simple tricks & 18 months later) with Ruaridh Campbell and in 2006 we were nominated for the folk band of the year at the Scottish Trad Awards. The next recording will be another duo album that should hopefully be finished early on in 2007 |
