About Me |

In one of his songs (Scotland a part of me) Cal is singing these words, which describes him very well as I think:

My Interests |
|
Cal started singing,playing the guitar and writing his own songs in the early 1990s as a hobby, but – what a great luck for us- his interest had grown up and his ambition was to perform as a self employed solo artiste. Cal soon realised this ambition, performing in a variety of venues in Scotland: from pubs to town halls and also small concert halls and with the time, he come to support bands like Wolfstone, The Ian Hunter Band, Fish and many more. He founded his own record label (Cal Music) and so he was able to write, record and promote his own songs while keeping all copyright control together. 1998 Cal recorded the cover song album“Vintage years” in response to the many requests at his live performances which proves that saying ”the old ones are the best”. During continuously touring throughout his homeland, Cal was writing and recording his own songs and at the beginning of 2001 his album “Scotland a part of me” was available to all music stores in Scotland. In a short time he made a name of himself in Scotland, but he had also interests in America and got the possibility of doing a tour there, what given him the opportunity to bring his music over the pond. Whenever he got a bit of time whilst gigging at home, he was writing and recording new songs and so he finished his next album in 2004, followed by a tour, where Cal signified “Calling you” to his German fans. His last recording – at the moment – is the limited edition single “Rose among the heather” with three new songs and also a remix of “Scotland a part of me”. You can now buy individual tracks from any of Cal's albums at the iTunes store !! Check it out at his webpage: www.calmusic.co.uk Cal is gigging solo but also with his own four-piece band “Cal and the celtic explosion” Mikey: keyboard Cal: voice, guitar; www.calmusic.co.uk Kenny: bass; www.myspace.com/kennethmaclean Adam: drums; www.myspace.com/adambondthomson The band had their first gig during the Celtic Connection festival 2007 in Glasgow and had their first full-evening-gig, just with Cal’s own songs, in Callander 2007 - and all who once had the pleasure to hear him/them live knows, that it was a big success!! The band is always looking to new gigs, so if you can do anything for them – keep in touch, please ! November 2007 Cal maybe had his biggest success in winning the festival4stars National Songwriting Competition, London, with his song “You and I” !!!! CONGRATULATIONS FROM ALL YOUR FAN’S, CAL...WE ALWAYS KNEW THAT YOU ARE BRILLIANT !!! Since a few weeks lot of people in Canada know this, too - because CAL made a Canadian Tour in 2008 from August,28th to September, 6th.! He was gigging in Pubs but also at some festivals with big success, of course! |
