VIDEOS

This is my new video of my song 'Let It All Go', off my debut album, 'Her Spirit Is Free', made by a lovely and talented friend, Serge Pasquali. I think he's done a wonderful job.

This is a short film of a couple of songs from our set on the Potting Shed Stage at the wonderful Belladrum Festival.

This video was filmed at the 2nd Candlelit Sessions Scotland, organised by the wonderful Rick, DJ Buddha, founding member of AFC Radio, 1st organiser of The Gathering and now this network. He was on the sound at this session. What a guy!
The song is a cover of Trent Reznor's (9 inch Nails) 'Hurt', made even more famous by Johnny Cash. Jeremy Perron is on lead guitar as usual.

This was the 1st time we ever performed this version of the song, having just learned it that week! lol

Is This Kind Of Bullying & Torture Acceptable In America??

I found this really disturbing!! It shows a 'wizard' at a Pagan Music Festival in California who is naked, as Pagan Wizards are expected to be at Festivals, and totally harmless and inoffensive. 3 cops/bullies/thugs try to get him to dress and when he good humouredly refuses amid cheers from the crowd, they then set about him with fists and knees and holding him by his hair and arms twisted up his back, then torture him with tasers! Fascist pricks! Is this torture accepted? All this time the cro… Continue
