FLEX

Powerfunk quartet featuring Harry Higgs(Guitar), Dougie Coulter(Bass) and Ben Collard(Drums). FLEX features my Fender Rhodes which, it was discovered after its restoration during 2020 lockdown, is a hybrid of at least 3 seperate pianos of various marks and years.

Repertoire includes a collection of 80s funk and pop (Michael MacDonald, Steely Dan, Earth Wind and Fire), as well as some classic 70s funk (Maceo Parker, The Meters, Funkadelic).

Did someone say, "Yacht Rock"?

Listen/Buy

In 2022 we held the first Pantheon songwriting workshops. This large-scale party band features 16 of Edinburgh's top sessions musicians, including double guitar, double keys and 4 lead vocalists. We'll be focusing on playing entirely original material for the festival going public.

The focus for the band right now is the extensive writing process and, in particular, the development of the collaborative nature of the music creation. The idea is to pool the collective expertise of the many songwriters and arrangers within the lineup.

Multiple aspects of the project are still in production; the design and creation of COSTUMES and MASKS for all players; the planning of our debut performance/live album recording; the aqusition of funding/crowdfunding.

Coming to a summer festival near you. Watch this space...

DELOREAN

DeLorean is a cyberband launched during the COVID pandemic. As lockdown 2020 slowly became lockdown 2021 and the world was tentatively opening up, my work with the StreamCycle team was finally getting some tangible results. Mark II of StreamCycle saw the launch of 2 new cyberbands; Zeitgeist - a 7-piece vehicle for fortnightly guest singer-songwriters from across the globe; and its counterpart, DeLorean - featuring Ben Collard(Drums), Dougie Coulter(Bass), Andy Chisholm(Guitar) and Chuck Dearness(Trumpet).
