words from Iain:
"As I pursued my dream of being a shepherd I met shepherds, farmers and gamekeepers of old. Men who played and sung of the land they worked. I still live that life and believe that it is dying out. My song writing and music and the inspiration for it come from the land I work and the people I meet. My music is part of me and my lifestyle."
