"In 2002, during my stint with Jimi, I was invited to compose and co-produce music for The Algarve's biggest ever theatre arts performance event Fulgor with producer of the show Beau McClellan. The job entailed me designing and building a Logic Audio based studio with Beau in the Algarve and writing 45 minutes of music for the one off show which was funded by a Sheikh on the 18th hole of a hallowed golf course which was dug up and converted into a four stage set for the show.

My bizarre relationship with the pipes continues though, I recorded two albums with The Royal Scots Dragoon Guards with producer Jon Cohen for Universal records in 2007 and 2008.The first one, entitled Spirit Of The Glen reached no1 in the UK Classical charts and no 12 in the UK Pop charts in 2008 and no 3 for the follow up in early 2009.

Bringing us up the present day, as well as continuing to work with many songwriters and singers in a wide array of styles, I'm also working on pop songs with ex Bay City Roller Pat McGlynn on an album for SONY/BMG in Japan. Pat had 10 no1 singles as a solo artist post Rollers and is experiencing a resurgence of his career there now. I'm co-writing and playing Bass and Guitar with Pat, who is an old pal I first worked with way back in 1984 at Edinburgh's Planet studios on a doomed Rollers revival album with the original line up (minus Woody).
