Alternative

Hailing from the small, seaside town of Gourock on the West coast of Scotland (& currently living in Doha), Scott has travelled well, playing his original music.  Personal triumphs include two nights at the world-famous Whisky A Go-Go in West Hollywood (supporting 60’s rockers Iron Butterfly), The Cavern Club in Liverpool & several television appearances in the UK.

Drawing on influences from Lennon/McCartney to Bowie, Scott’s music has a classic feel, with an experimental sonic twist.  

Growing up, his father (a self-confessed Beatles fanatic) exposed him to the music of the “Fab 4” & since then, Scott has wanted to little else. Despite having picked up a guitar at the age of 4 and trying to play along with his favourite records, it wasn’t until his teenage years that he truly immersed himself in The Beatles’ experimental album “Revolver” & subsequently more psychedelic music from the 1960’s & 70’s – which has shaped his sound in so many ways since.

It was also around this time that Scott began to experiment with recording. Being able to play drums, guitar, bass & keyboard meant that he could record a full-band track by himself & didn’t have to teach anyone else the parts to his songs – something that he has continued to do ever since.

Always experimenting, it’s exciting to hear just what musical ground this man will cover next…

Chimpanbee Story.

Chimpanbee are essentially a trio of musicians and songwriters , namely Mike Fox on Drums and percussion Paul Barry on Bass and Ger Reid the songwriter , guitar player and vocalist.

An eclectic fellowship with dreams and ambitions of being the next great rock band.

The band recently released a debut album , a collection of songs that explores the cliche themes and notions of young love and how that plays out under the constraints of music life and under the influences of heavy drug taking.

The songs where wrote when we were 18 yrs old in 2008 and so we set about re-writing , re-mixing and re-recording them in 2017.

We released 'Cant Stop or Rewind' in February 2018.

We then began almost immediately to work on a second album entitled 'Perfectly out of balance'

The band were set to start touring in Ireland in 2018 when our piano player Damien O'Brien was attacked in Waterford city that July and killed.

Since then we have been exclusively writing and recording in the hopes of delivering a second record with far more ambition than the first and more in line with who and what we are now..
