FlyinAmbeR is a one man band recording in Scotland. Influenced by the sixties, a refugee from the seventies, solo in the eighties, gigging in the nineties with Lenny, Barberstar and Kooper; the Fly is now kept in a darkened room with a 4 track and a drum machine for company. Being older than twelve, he is in an almost catatonic state which precludes live appearances. Every so often, though, a few neurons twich and a song pops out - strong on melody and jangly guitar, the voice sounding like it could do the business given some exercise. The Fly is beyond discovery...but if anyone out there fancies doing a cover...

Working With Others

How I Work:

Back room recording on Boss BR600. Interested in learning better mixing techniques. Hopeful someone might cover my songs.

Years of gigging in smoky bar rooms - which has ruined my voice - now retired from live performance and just writing and recording when inspiration strikes.

Drum machine, bass simulator, Strat, takamine and epiphone casino
