Artist picture
I am coming to that. The positive part is that all these difficulties have led me to concentrate more on the artistic side of the music - I mean art in the sense of expression, communication. I can’t be a working musician? Well, I’ll try to be an artist instead. I’ll try to touch people, I’ll try to share emotions. I can certainly try to do that even if I got back to a full-time, non musical job. And with playing live being so damn difficult, what better option than opening out to scores of people on the Internet? I am very happy to trade one or two online sales a month (real figures, from exceptionally good artists!) for a couple of dozens of downloads from people who like what I do. In the process, my compositions may even mean something to somebody, and that’s the one and only reason to do art. The record industry may well be dead, but music lives on.

Story behind the song
The title in English would read "A Night Out". Alcohol-induced violence has always been a problem in the UK in general and in Scotland in particular, but in recent years it has grown to epidemic proportions.
