    glasgows finest. brilliant songwriter, singer and guitar player, overall an incredibly under rated musician. was amazed the first time i heard him, superb artist even though he ruined my 18th birthday when i went to see him and he was pished and talking */telling jokes. any other fans out there?

    Brilliant m8, i used to work with a guy, who was my neighbour when i was a young pup, that could play this tune on the guitar. He was pretty good although not the strongest of voices, but then i seen this video and it blew e away. Some shout m8 :50:

    A rich man's Jack Johnson (is that his name?)

    What a * voice man your right, this is the most 'extrovert' i've heard him sing, the other stuff i've heard he's quite muted. Outstanding.

    his voice was the first thing that really struck me about him, amazing.

    finding it hard to post more youtube vids as some of my favourites aren't there, over the hill etc but heres another gem

    So original, am actually quite gutted i forgot about this guy for near on 5 year. Prefer him acoustic though without the smooth bass lines and doors-ey keyboards. Still good tho

    i agree 100%, he lost it a bit in the 80's (but most people did) and started wearing dinner jackets and over producing his albums, but the 80's weren't exactly a singer/songwriter friendly decade i suppose

    True, he prob earned the right to go off on one tho he already made his mark. In the perfect way imo aswell , the people who struck me as the most clued-up musically when i worked in Cumbernauld College knew all about him. If you can make a mark like that without getting yourself chased by the * moral-less vultures that is the papertze (sp) then your onto a winner.
