Delighted to be asked by one of my favourite Scottish bands, De Rosa to open for their 10th anniversary Mend show at The CCA Glasgow on Saturday Dec 17th.

The Toad Sessions
At the end of last summer, the record label invited myself and Robbie to their headquarters to record a live session, of which you can view the results of in the above video, plus a download link to all of the session tracks, an interview and hand-picked tracks from other artists that we played during the session all HERE!
Thanks to Glasgow Short Film Festival for screening my 2nd short film No Hope For Men Below in mid-February. The Jury gave the film a Special Mention at the end awards ceremony. This is what they said about the film:
‘No Hope For Men Below uses extraordinary sound design, stark imagery, and poetry to create a unique cinematic experience. This lyrical, expressionist retelling of the Redding Pit disaster of 1923 not only captures the poignancy of the literal event, but explores a multitude of wounds deep within the national psyche.’
LISTS!
Imaginary Walls Collapse (and my good self) have popped-up on a few “End-of-Year” round-up lists this December. I’d just like to say a big thank-you to everyone who has said encouraging things this year about the record, all of you who attended the live shows and came up to speak to me afterwards and bought the record.
Robbie (Lesiuk, producer/engineer) and I are endeavouring to record the next record in 2014. The songs have been written and the parts have been arranged, we just need to get it down on tape (er, Logic)!
If you haven’t already got the album, it is available on 12" and download HERE!
Thanks muchly,
A (xo)
