CURRENT MISSION

ABOUT ME

If you dont know where your going any road will take you there!! I try and get around cheffing, playing guitar and "singing" Scottish folk songs. At the moment I play in a Balkan/Celtic band called AlbaRoma and spend a fair amount of time gigging and busking! I enjoy meeting new people, camping, hiking, jamming, movies, social sciences, reading and laughing at shit jokes! A meal without wine is like a day without sunshine...

PHILOSOPHY

Peaches in a can are alright! The suns shining with his big straw hat on...hows it not burn...who knows!! Well theres whisky in the water and beer in the grain...so roll a number, sing a song and dance the night away, what better place than here, what better time than now?!! Life is a miracle, smile and be kind!
