What a find this is.

 He says

‘’ I went to Edinburgh College of Art in 1971 for a four year course in Drawing and Painting. During this time my interest in landscape painting was ignited by a trip to the island of Iona off the West Coast of Scotland, and further encouraged by a short stay at Hospitalfield (a large house at Arbroath, Tayside, then jointly owned by the four Scottish art colleges)’’

AND he goes on to say;  

‘’ I worked as a musician in the eighties, playing fiddle and metal vest in, what was at the time, Scotland’s only heavy metal cajun band - Deaf Heights, and appeared with Bo Diddley, Mud, The Pogues, King Kurt, The Proclaimers, KD Laing, Charlie Musselwhite and Runrig’’.
