Brian aka TRUB prefers acoustic music with the addition of some good quality synth sounds. He has had a couple of songs playlisted on BBC Radio and has played to full houses in Glasgow's big theatres. He is presently working on more rock based tracks (e.g. Wet T Shirt) with Bailey Ashton, above, of Handsome Dan - a UK based band who are generating a big buzz around Glasgow and Newcastle. Brian also produces music for Heritage Dance School, and has had pieces played in Sadlers Wells Theatre. In July 2004 the senior students performed a point ballet to Brian's 'Blue Rain' in front of a packed house at Stockton's ARC Theatre.
