Jingle Bells sung by Craig & Ross Handley in 2002

stream of consciousness...blah blah blah...drums...guitar...bass...piano...vox...bv's...creepish chords...never satisfied with mix...hint of chilli...leave out the raisins...peanuts with red skins...


Outshine The Sun (bombay mix)

A blast from the past! John Ross - guitar, Kenny Johnstone - drums, Jim Carr - bass, Me - vocals. Recorded in the Slaughterhouse, Driifield. Engineered & produced by Colin Richardson. 

“All war must be just the killing of strangers against whom you feel no personal animosity; strangers whom, in other circumstances, you would help if you found them in trouble, and who would help you if you needed it”

Burn (shame on them)

Mostly about my life long love of Arran! 
Partly about reconnecting...with a place, a person or yourself. Partly about letting go...

An Arran Homecoming

A protest song written in 2003 but still relevant now I think. This version is from 2011 with Peter Arthur's wonderful guitars.

Shadows on my Lawn

My old record company tell me I've sold over 100,000 records over the years. This was mainly in the 80's mainly with the single "Where Was" (no. 14 in Indie Charts, 63 National Charts)with Wayne Hussey from The Mission. I wrote for Goth rockers Eyes of the Nightmare Jungle on their album Fate and sang and co-wrote with Naked Voice on the album Forgotten Frontiers and single Dreamhouse. 

Like a lot of musicians for a brief moment it looked it was all going to take off and become massive...but it didn't. So I did other things to put food on the table but always carried on writing, gigging and recording for my own pleasure. 

Now I write on my own and with Peter Arthur, ex Naked Voice guitarist (as Masters of Melancholy) and lyricist John Lawson (as Stallions in Sepia). 

Most weeks I can be found singing and playing my acoustic guitar at open mic nights and small gigs  around the Glasgow and Lanarkshire area. 

If you like any of my stuff I'd like to hear from you.
