Had the wonderful privilege of being involved at CLAN gathering 2011.  This was my 2nd visit to CLAN.  The first was in 2006 whilst a resident at the Bethany Christian Centre; the homeless hostel where I started rebuilding my life.  It was an incredible experience the first time round.  I got to hear some great [...]

Today I had the great privilege of sharing my testimony and music at the Living Oasis book shop , formally Wesley Owen, in Manchester. It was the first, of hopefully many, events held in the basement which has been transformed into a mini venue complete with comfortable sofas, chairs, giant pillows, stage, and lights. I [...]

It’s been a long 2 weeks.  The first of the 2 was very lonely as my family left me home alone to visit Granny Macleod on the Isle of Lewis.  I had lots to do to keep me out of trouble.  Wednesday to Saturday, both this week and last, I played at Charlotte Chapel in [...]

Last weekend was the first time I had been abroad from my family.  I really missed them when I traveled to Berlin for a weekend of concerts, meeting friends, and seeing the great country that is Germany, again. There are many things I love about Berlin.  The public transport is brilliant.  Considering I had been [...]

It’s been a crazy couple of weeks.  I’ve been getting in touch with various churches, as have my manager and lovely wife, and asking if I can share my story and music.  It’s not been the most successful endeavour.  Unlike the secular circuit, looking for Christian gigs is quite tough.  One of the main questions [...]

Tonight was a great and interesting night. I got offered a support slot by a friend a while ago and tonight was the night of the gig. It worked out really well as it was my first BIG church gig. It was at Carrubers Christian Centre in Edinburgh; a beautiful church on the Royal Mile. [...]

This year the AFC was granted the full use of the Fringe stage at the Spratton Folk Festival (SFF).  This was mainly due to the hard work of Lewis, Adam, and Brown’s contribution previously in 2008 where a Gathering was held in the local pub, the Kings Head, as and extra day of the SFF.  [...]

 I got some great news the other day. My manager,  and a very close friend Rick,  called me and told me about a competition he had entered me into a while back. The competition was with acoustic magazine. It turns out I have made it to the final 12 and have been invited to play [...]

Once again I crossed the water to mainland Europe to compete in the Troubadour competition in Berlin.  This time it was the final and boy was it a night to remember!  Berlin never ceases to amaze me.  The people here are simply wonderful.  I had to stop and ask directions to get to the Troubadour [...]
