Not From Water

Been back at college for a month now and my second guitar is under way. Designing the headstock and my inlay logo today, and got my lovely Yew back glueing up! This year I'll be making a Washburn 79 Parlour guitar. #luthier #annieslandcollege #glasgowclydecollege #stringedinstrumentmaker #guitarbuilding #yew #headstock #secondbuild #parlourguitar #leatherbarrowhandcrafted (at Anniesland College)

@aine_christina and I made an Orange Layer Cake last night, and it's freaking delicious. WE LOVE CAKE! 😀 🍰 🎂 #baking #orangelayercake #cakeisdelicious #howtogetfat

I highly recommend checking out Modern Addiction by Tender. The whole album is just dripping with cool, can't get enough! #tender #modernaddiction #newvinyl #colourvinyl #audiophile

@aine_christina and I moved into our first flat together today. The cat approves of the new big home, bombing about like a lunatic, enjoying all the extra space and destroying everything in her path. ❤️👫 #firsthome #newflat #newapartment #happycat #happykitty #couple #catsofinstagram #catstagram (at Muirend)

Accidentally trimmed my beard way too short today, so had to just go with it. This is the first time I've seen my face since 2012 #nobeard #nakedface #whygodwhy

@aine_christina and I are in the process of moving into our new home. The first thing we set up of course was the turntable, TV and speakers, to watch some Futurama 😀 #newflat #Glasgow #futurama #audiophile #wharfdale #pioneer #sunnyday #wecanseetrees

After a plea to @biffy_clyro earlier this year for a copy of their very limited Spotify Sessions vinyl, a monstrously generous human being from the other side of the world, @laurengagne, managed to get her hands on an extra copy and insisted on sending me one for free. Faith in humanity restored. Thank you so much Lauren, I am extremely grateful for your kindness! 😊 #biffyclyro #biffyclyrospotifysessions #biffyspotifysessions #faithinhumanity #faithinhumanityrestored #biffyclyrovinyl #pioneer #turntable

Just completed a charity 50km cycle with @aine_christina for the NSPCC from Clydebank to Loch Lomond and back. Raised over £300 between us so thank you so much to everybody who donated 😊 #charity #charitycycle #50k #clydebank #lochlomond #nspcc #donation #charity50k

After 9 very short months, I am extremely happy to say that my very first guitar is finished! It's A Martin 000-28 copy, with a European Spruce top, Walnut back and sides, Mahogany neck and headstock, Indian Rosewood fretboard and bridge, Mango rosette, end graft and heel cap and Abalone inlays with Mother of Pearl fret dots. Completed on 30th of May, 2017. ☺️ #firstbuild #firstguitarbuild #annieslandcollege #glasgowclydecollege #Glasgow #luthier #luthiery #mahogany #walnut #walnutwood #mango #abalone #motherofpearl #finishedguitar #frenchpolished

Happy Will is extremely happy 😀😀 strung it up today and it's sounding lovely. Need to do minor adjustments to the nut to lower the action a little, and hopefully have it finished on Tuesday! #firstbuild #glasgowclydecollege #firstguitarbuild #annieslandcollege #strungup #stringedinstrumentmaker #luthier #luthiery (at Anniesland College)

Luke Sital-Singh was absolutely fantastic last night at the Oran Mor, I was lucky enough to meet him and have a chat afterwards and he kindly signed the new album for me 😊 He was supported by a wonderful songwriter, Ciaran Lavery, and I highly recommend checking them both out! #lukesitalsingh #ciaranlavery #oranmor #Glasgow #timeisariddle #signed #singersongwriter #livemusic

Beautiful day for a walk up to the necropolis and cathedral with @aine_christina and her mum 😊 #Glasgow #glasgowskyline #glasgownecropolis #glasgowcathedral #sunshine #sundayinthesun #walkinthesun (at Glasgow Necropolis)

@biffy_clyro @biffyben Biffy Clyro has been my favourite band since I was 10, I'm now 24. I've been collecting your records, cds and t-shirts (3 of which are missing from this photo) for years and years. I also met my girlfriend @aine_christina in the queue for your Ellipsis signing at hmv in Glasgow. I don't use Spotify so don't think I'm going to be eligible for your limited Spotify Sessions vinyl release for your biggest fans. If you could find it in you to agree that I'm up there with your biggest fans, it would mean everything to my girlfriend and I, and back up my view that you're not only the best rock band out there, but some of the best people. Thanks for reading!
