Here is a brief excerpt from the Arcturus concert showcasing Mark Shreeve's incredible live sequencing skills. Performed in 2004 this album is currently a free to download/name your price album on the dinrecords Bandcamp store. This gig was such a blast & great to have the big modulars out on stage.

My eldest son was sworn in as a police officer in Australia today. One of 800 Scottish police officers being recruited by Australia. I'm not sure how Police Scotland can cope with this level of experience loss. They are all 5-15 years service, and fully trained at no cost to Australia.

I made a video about how I got started in Amateur Radio as a kid in the late 70s and early 80s.

I'm really proud of the 60's style mix I did on this, and I changed the pitch of the Bassey backing track by changing the speed of the turntable. A very old fashioned solution!
