Hello

You'll find a resource for my current and past musical sketches here including the acoustic / flamenco based / solo guitar (that's not really very flamenco-ish at all), From Home (guitar quartet with dance) and El Hombre Trajeado plus any other projects that come along.
Most of these projects have freely downloadable mp3's available. Why give it away? Two reasons. Firstly, because i can. Secondly, as a wise man once said "Obscurity is a far greater threat to authors and creative artists than piracy".
Most of the music is released under a Creative Commons Attribution-Noncommercial-Share Alike 2.5 UK: Scotland License which basically means that you can remix, share, redistribute and reuse the music as long as you do the same with whatever you make. See the full license here.
I'm always up for doing live shows, contact me here if you'd like to book a show. Also, check out Will Play For Food if you fancy putting on a show in your own home.
Anyway, here's what's new :

Pay what you want pricing on CD's
Thu 1st April 2010
Following our wee experiment with letting people set their own prices for the download version of First & Last, we have decided to do the same for the CD version too.
So, as of right now, you can set your own price for the CD via Bandcamp. There is a minimum cost of £1.50 to cover Paypal charges and shipping.
For your reference, each CD costs us about £4 after taking recording, mastering & manufacturing into consideration.
Please tell your friends.
Thee Silver Mt. Zion Memorial Orchestra support
Wed 17th March 2010
I have just been confirmed as support for Thee Silver Mt. Zion Memorial Orchestra at the Glasgow School of Art this Friday (19th March).
It's nearly sold out but you may be able to pick up tickets here if you are fast.
I'm insanely excited about this show.
