impossible songs
Artists Genre: Rock
Impossible Songs are is and is are Alison Hutton &
John Barclay.
Ali and John live in the very likely haunted (no
sightings yet, just lots of wild life) "Inchgarvie
House" looking out on a river full of boats and the
Forth Road and Railway Bridges near Edinburgh in
Scotland, UK.
They write music and songs together. Ali sings in what
has been described as a sexy and wavering voice and
plays the "used chopsticks" and torch. John plays
electric and acoustic guitars in an uncultured, sloppy
but entertaining way - experimenting with steel
resonator at present. On CD the sound is augmented by
bass, drums and synths (other voices do creep in
also). We try to have fun.
They are fortyish with (gradually increasing which is
good) families and baggage and a cat like "Puss in
Boots" called Syrus.
Live gigs: Few and far but becoming more frequent,
lots of experiences scattered over the years. Playing
much more regularly now on the Edinburgh acoustic
scene. There is a lot of good music getting played in
Edinburgh right now!
Influences: We're cultural sponges. Quite liking Choc
Ices and poor man's noodles, chinese buffets and going
to the cinema.
Plans: Keeping on working and playing. New CD
"heartburst" on sale now available on cdbaby. Other
plans are forming...
Inspiration: Bacon rolls breakfast snacks, oily fish,
pasta and pizza and green tea (and using post-its).
Frustration: The secret life of all road traffic and
the road works on the Forth Bridge and road pot
holes.
Situation most likely to cause panic: Stupid noisy
doorbell in our house and surprise attacks by Alsation
dogs in shrubs. Cat being moody, scratchy and ....
Situation least likely to cause panic: Watching 3D
DVDs, Star Wars, Green Wing, Spirited Away and
drinking Dr Pepper and Horlicks (but not in the same
cup).
Favourite Place: Mine is on the tyre swings in the
garden, Ali's is up on top of some high building
looking out.
Happiest memory: Sitting on a rock, on the beach under
the Forth Railway Bridge.
Most complex current problem: Fridge magnet and flyer
designs, oh yeah and finding time.
Best Attributes: Doing the impossible - as you can
tell.
Worst Attributes: Doing the impossible badly.
Other Projects: As well as CDs, live gigs and writing
music, the "is" brand appears on their unique artwork,
paintings, sculpture and theme related projects. Also
available to work on lyrics, poems, designs and
life-style adjustment. All types of challenges and
commissions considered. Why not ask???? about
Fairytale Management Theory (FTMT).
