All grown up now

Another from the Zeds song book of silly, catchy tunes !

My imaginary friends

A very quick idea by Jag ,and me ..."the sharks are in the water..."j

Test of time

another Zeds tune about sleepless night and contemplating the frustrations of life

Its only one light year away

Davis Attenborough is 99 years old, thought we would like to do a song while he is still with us.

The Great Escape

A song about when you just know its time to move on.

Who's going to be the first

for anyone who has ever had surgery and the ultimate control that is anaesthetics. Recorded on my phone on the patio the day after surgery

Things just take so goddamn long

The Mirror man is a statue in Loch Earn in Scotland. He was created by Robert Mulholland and it is the connection and distance between man and nature.

Mirror man

How many bands can get Krakens, Minotaurs, Spartacus and one way streets in a song ? well....us !

Take me to my Rome

A very Zeds type of song....very dark topic but done in a soft ,tender way with a catchy ,sing a long tune. Inspired by listening to "Rock and roll suicide" no matter how bad things seem there is always someone you can talk to

Love Town

A beautiful piece written and performed by Jag . He just asked me for some "keyboardy-type stuff"- we really enjoy trying new things, hope you liked it .

Geronimo's horse

A song about footballers ,cocaine and decadent lifestyles. Written and recorded in an hour.

Champagne night club chancer

A song about growing up in Dundee in the 80s and the night clubs. Its not meant to be taken seriously but was seriously good fun to write and record in an hour :)

Dance with me until the end

A  song about living on the streets but done in a real fusion of different styles

I'm down and out

A simple and beautiful song from the pen of Jag Betty.

I always take it too far

Jag challenged me to turn this song into something that might be on Sandinista by the Clash- perhaps not, but that was the idea.

Down and out (dirty mix)

A song about love -Written in a Spar shop on the way to play together, 5 minutes mucking about, found a tune, some chords and then we just created this

Dance in Moon Sound

We haven't recorded this song together for 35 years- absolutely had a blast.
tried to capture the live chaotic fun feel.

Don't go by appearances

Our cover of a Sleepy john Estes song, but in our style

Drop down Mama

This is our take on a Ricki Lee Jones song- I came up with the groove and Gilbert (Dougie) started singing these words -bang....a song...record...you should listen to the original, absolutely nothing like ours !

Easy money

This is our version of an old Terry and Gerry song from the 80s- we love playing this live.

Clothes shop

Sinful life with you- our version of a Timbuk 3 song ( ours is better !)

Sinful life

A quirky quick tune recorded today in typical Zeds style,
The plot thickens like a chicken gravy, stuck to the sides so I stir like crazy.

Once more

A song Gilbert ( Dougie) and I wrote many many years ago, first attempt since starting playing together 

Escape reality

Another silly song about trying to reach oblivion."The plot thickens like a chicken gravy, its stuck to the side and I stir like crazy"

Oblivion ( Dr Who v The Master)

This is a gentle song about that very sad moment when you realise the relationship has run it's course.

Every day is the same

Brian Jones wrote a jingle for Rice Crispies  cereal in 1964..so there was the inspiration...yee haa

A Rolling stone

An experiment with the electronic world today, something different

Battlefield

In a world full of hate ,we need to graduate. A very quick and rough demo of our song about Mr Robinson from the Graduate.

Mr Robinson

Another quick tune from yesterdays 2 hour jam and writing session- 

Somewhere(I can see it all )

A song about having doubts in a relationship- this is a rough first demo

I'm thinking about the things you said

The soft side of the Zeds today. A lovely wee song t. 

Daydreaming

singer /songwriter/,( and producer !) just enjoy making thoughtful and varied music( often with humour ). My old pal Jag comes up with some wacky ideas and we have such fun making music. We try to do absolutely different versions when we do covers of other songs.
