I’m a singer/songwriter from Guildford, Surrey, England. I started writing songs when I was 12 on a piano but really got into it when I started playing the guitar at 13/14. As with so many of us, career and family became the priority and I stopped writing over a 30 year period. Now I’ve retired, I’ve finally got time to write and record again and I love it! 
I play everything on the songs and record on my MacBook on GarageBand. Still learning! 
I hope you enjoy the songs and thank you in advance for any comments and feedback.

'Brilliant local songwriter. Melodic and bittersweet. His melodies will linger on long after the shows over and you’ll be happy they do'
                      
       Lach (Antifolk guru and star of BBC Radio 4)

'Craig Finnie has appeared before us in various guises and has never once failed to mesmerise. Where lyrical prowess, subtle tones and delicate yet intricate melodies waltz together, is where these songs dwell; Finnie brings us NickDrake(ism) for the Neu! generation'

       Michael Pedersen(Neu! Reekie!)

'The first support on this noticeably busy night at Sneaky Pete’s is local singer-songwriter, I AM PLUTO (AKA Craig Finnie). It’s a real contrast from the other acts but a shrewd choice of support as the crowd are treated to half an hour of blissful melancholy. Finnie has clearly spent time crafting his unique relationship between his impassioned vocals and poignant guitar playing and he is so intertwined within both mediums that it almost falls into one exquisitely soulful instrument.

The songs are often smattered with complex picking patterns and a drawl in reference of Leonard Cohen. The melodies are pure but again unusual and there’s a nod to the likes of Fleet Foxes and the similarly named I Am Kloot. As Finnie sails into BPD Blues, we see a moody side to his otherwise sleek folk as we are taken by the hand along a path previously walked by the likes of Nick Drake and his cohorts. Finnie is a natural story teller and embeds his emotions in every corner of his technique and performance. A must see on the Edinburgh scene.'

'I Am Pluto, an Edinburgh boy made good with some fine tunes'

Harry Medium is a songwriter from the middle of the UK . He was once voted 3rd best singer-songwriter in Lincolnshire by a tiny amount of people. This is a victory he clings to, like a drowning man clings to  a lump of wood in a shark infested water. 

Harry Medium does not enjoy talking about myself in the third person.
