Coffee              Oct  2022
It’s been a long time since I put out an Album! Thankfully I have been kept very  busy in music , staying passionate about writing and co-writing with other artists, gigging and having fun along the way.
I never really dreamed of putting out another L.P. ….but…I recorded 7 songs which I thought would be acoustic Demo’s.
I recorded with my friend and maestro Ian Matchet and even after the  first day I thought they sounded better than I had hoped for …..so a seed was planted. I called my friends Karen Henderson and Lorraine Handling to see if they would help. With Lorraine’s wonderful vocals and top class violin from Karen , Ian’s great playing on different instruments and mixing skills…. I now have a 7 tack album called ‘Coffee’ available now for download on all major platforms .

My friend Colin Hyslop filmed the videos for the title track ‘Coffee’ and ‘Modern Day Jane Eyre ‘ co-written with Callum Johnston, the latter  feat Lyndsey Kate Smith…. …..again we had so much  fun…it was amazing..We shot the ‘live’ footage part of the videos in ‘The Smoking Goat’ Ayr and I recruited my friends Darren Kelly and Brian Fleming to join us in’ the band’ along with Ian Matchett  in  front of  an enthusiastic audience of invited friends and family. 
I was also want to Thank  ‘The Ottoman Coffeehouse’ Glasgow  for allowing us to shoot some scenes from the ‘Coffee’ video.

 I am excited that a few of my friends performed  ’cover’ versions of some songs from the album. Colin Hyslop filmed  them and Brian Kyles edited the footage from the beautiful ‘McIntyre  Barberista’ in Prestwick so I have plenty of promotion material . Ellie Anderson, Rona Bryden , Colin Hyslop and Debbie Campbell all were magnificent and brought some of their own Uniqueness to the songs .Jamie Clark   Filmed his own brilliant version of ‘Swimming in regrets’.. Catch them all on Youtube . My good  friend Darren Kelly #withintheblacklights shot the great artwork and promo pics. Thanks to Peter Anderson for putting my ‘Coffee’ page together on my website and my nephew Rishaad Moudden for making the tracks  available for download.
I hope you love all this news  , download, stream   and enjoy the videos…catch me along the way somewhere and thanks again so much to everyone who made it all happen…..I am in awe of you all xx

25th Nov will be the ‘Launch/Party Night’ with my friends/artists performing…I can now confirm the amazing line up of musicians and singers…check this out…!! Ian Matchett/Lorraine Handling/Karen Henderson/ Gary MacDonald/Grant Spence/ Darren Kelly/ Debbie Campbell/Ellie Anderson/ Rona Bryden/ Colin Hyslop/Shayla Belle Bletsoe/ Kayla Hunter-Ryah Henderson/….put it in your diary… Venue ….Gro Coffee Ayr 8pm xx   DO NOT MISS IT!!

Just want to Honour all the players …Debbie Campbell ..Mithian Perry.. Ava Gemmell…Georgia Patterson…Kayla Hunter…Lorraine Handling…Elissa Poli..Shayla Belle Bletsoe…Ryah Henderson and Emily and Gemma Duffy….They were all brilliant and at different stages in their artistic development..some as young as 9/10yrs….I want to give people the chance to play in front of an encouraging audience. They were superb and thanks to everyone who came and supported. 
Thanks to Darren Kelly and Gary MacDonald who were my wee backing band….and thanks To my friend Alister Dickson for his brilliant photography…..till next time……

Feb 19th 2022                The Coo Shed Ayr 


Well what can I say? What a night!!....Saturday 19th Feb at The Coo Shed Ayr was just wonderful. This Gig for the amazing Charity ‘Beautiful inside and out’ was an  emotional rollercoaster. The seven acts who performed were just incredible. Let me first thank Alison Kerr and her fantastic staff who served us impeccably on the night and her great generosity.
The event was filmed by Colin Hyslop Photography with his most glamourous assistant Rhona Allanach, and there will be an edited version available on Youtube/Social media soon.
