After a sad week some happier news - a new single. Something a bit different for me. A collaboration with Uplifting Trance artist @deme3usmusic called Butterflies, released on @2ROCKmusic I think we can all use a positive song.

Heartbroken. It's never easy, even when you know it's the right thing to do. 🐾💔🐾 We'll miss you, puppo.

🎂🎂🎂It's Soliloquy's 30th birthday this month!🎂🎂🎂
I can't believe it's been so long since I released my first album. Remastered in 2007 and released as Soliloquy Deluxe with extra tracks. I'm so happy it's still going strong. Listen or buy here:

39 years ago when I was still at Berklee a woman asked me to teach her the piano. I've been teaching ever since.

But today I had my last pupil! I've decided to retire from teaching to focus on my own music and health.Thank you to my Orkney students for being such a great bunch.

Heavyocity, creator of amazing virtual instruments, is running a competition asking users to re-score the promotional trailer for their Gravity2 instrument. I thought it would be a fun challenge. Hope you enjoy it!

I was interviewed this morning on BBC Radio Orkney. It's about 20 minutes in but you should listen to the whole programme! So lovely to have such great local support - thanks, guys!
