Sound & Vision

There are some vid clips on the video page on this site.


I wrote a play called Rain. It was broadcast in October 2010 on BBC Radio Scotland. The actors were Ford Kiernan and James Young.

It's a wee black comedy with a twist. You can download it here. Duration 28 minutes.
mp3 file 38.4mb. 


BBC Radio 7 is presently repeating Comic To Comic, a series of interviews I did with stand-up comics few years back. I think Radio Scotland is also running these chats in late night slots. Don't quote me.


The fine folk at online music station Radio Magnetic agreed to feature a little music mix I made. You can hear it here.
