I played my first wedding where there was a Pagan ceremony and the attire for the night was not suits but medieval dresses and knights in armour. The meal was from 6pm until 8pm where i played. It set the atmosphere for the classical guitar and watching people drink from medieval goblets instead of wine glasses was amazing. Good luck to the medieval couple, i wish them many happy years together.

'MEDIEVAL CLASSIC MELODIES' AVAILABLE NOW AT WWW.TOWERRECORDS.COM.

JIM KEILT who was at the recording desk at the time of recording 'medieval classic melodies', has released a new cd 'Electric Wood' on www.cdbaby.com. Jim who played in the musical 'Tommy' in london is a guitar player worth a listen.

CD BABY held a meeting with other artists in Glasgow last monday. I t was a very interesting meeting and learned more of what the company are about to do. My cd would not have gone so far if it wasnt for cdbaby. I now have over 500 downloads of the cd since it has been on itunes and music.net. Thanks to cdbaby and to you, i hope you enjoy the music and download as many pieces of my playing as you want.

Three students went through their grade exams last week and all passed with high marks. Well done to Nichola, Samantha and musti.

This was an unusual performance as i was asked to play at Dobbies Garden Cemter in Kinross as they had their summer open day. I played out side in the sun which was pleasent but warm. The free sangria was great and the restaurant was holding a spanish theme. I was getting paid for the gig , a kind lady put a £1 coin in my guitar case and asked if i was studying music. I said yes and thanked her for her kind donation. When i now think about this it must have looked like i was busking!! as i had kept my guitar case beside me to put my guitar in when i took a break.. But a £ is a £ !!! thankyou

Two new dates. Kinross Garden center on the 11th of June. A party in Kinross on the 1st of July. Many tunes from the cd will be played plus new material from the forthcoming cd.

New Tracks From "Medieval Classic Melodies" have been added to the music link. Also two demo versions of tracks that i have written will be on the link soon.

Gigs have run out for JumpStart. Due to the smoking ban in Scotland pubs are not willing to take the chance to put on live music. Pubs that we had played before have either cut back or maybe be closing down. Our next gig is in the Trust 7th July Kilbarchan.

The birth place of Bon Scott was alive last weekend. A plaque was unvailed and bands played in honour of the AC/DC lead singer who died febuary 1980.
