background / biography

I'm a singer songwriter living in the Scottish Highlands. I've been singing and playing with various bands and other artists for many years. Please visit my other site here on ness for the rock/blues band I sing in, 'FutreX' and play the songs, as thats the band I'm really concentrating on at the moment.
I started in folk clubs and pubs in a folk duo when I was only 14 and had to lie about my age to get into the pubs I was playing! I remember supporting Billy Connolly after he left the Humblebums and was just starting to make it with his stand up comedy. I've since sung with Mad Dog(Rock), Marandra(Blues/Rock/Accoustic), Martin Stephenson(Singer songwriter), Dr. J.K.L.M.(Experimental), Blues Mamas(Blues/Rock), Rapscallion(Rock), Futurex(Rock), Studio 9 Jam/Usual Suspects(Improvised) and now my own band. I've recorded with quite a few artists, most notably, Jon Hall(my ex) and Martin Stephenson(of the Daintees) and I have just released my first solo album, Her Spirit Is Free and am working on my second.

I've had so many influences in my life, I can't really categorise my style. I love to allow other musicians to bring their own flavour to my music and I'm blessed with many talented musician friends who have played and recorded with me.
