| ROCK AND ROLL MOUNTAINS HITS No 5 on AMAZON! DARKWATER are very busy recording their first album. NEW SINGLE OUT SOON: check myspace.com/darkwaterglasgow Darkwater were on tour now Nov 2007 -Nov 2008. In that short time, the band did over 100 gigs, festivals and live radio sessions, playing to thousands of people in the UK and Europe. There have been fantastic headline shows as well as support slots with Wolfmother, Primal Scream, Hayseed Dixie, The Rezillos, the Damned and others. The video for 1920 single (mixed by Scott Ian in LA ) is being played all over the world and also at Midem in Cannes. Thanks to everyone who has helped the band, especially John Wheeler and Scott Ian. It's been a fantastic year. I'm hoping to grab a wee ski trip now.. I've played with all sorts of bands, from the Incredible String Band to a blues band (in Los Angeles) with session men John Gilston and Nicky Hopkins.I also played with Mike Heron's Reputation, Golden Eagle, with ex-Bowie drummer Woody Woodmansey, the Kim Beacon Band (ex-Peter Gabriel), Radio Clyde DJ Tiger Tim Stevens, and a big soul band with actor Rory McCann and Carol Smillie. I've played gigs with the Kinks, 10cc, the Drifters, Boy George, Pasadenas, Marshall Tucker Band, Elvin Bishop, 3 Dog Night, Bruce Springsteen, the Stranglers, Travis, Gong, Chick Corea, McGuiness Flint, Hudson Ford, Don MacLean, and Nico. I live half the year in the USA and when I am in Scotland play in a BBC celebrity band with John Beattie, James McPherson, Jackie Bird, Andrea McNeil, Robert Calder, and some really nice guests including Scott Wallace, Deke McGee and the Brassnecks,Michelle McManus, Horse,Tom Urie,Alan Nimmo, Jim Condie, Jade Lazar, Gordon Smith Patrica Panther and Middle of the Road. There will be more! My first book, Rock And Roll Mountains , was nominated for an international award at the Banff Mountain Book Festival in Canada in 2005 and has had great reviews.
