A favourite song:

'The Islay Rant' was composed by Charlie McKerron, the fiddler in 'Capercaille'. I love playing it because it's in a slightly unusual tune and it's nice and fast.

I love playing 'That's What I like about the South' as it was composed by Buddy Ray from Atlanta and he's one of my all-time Western swing heroes.
