His penchant for music and writing came at a young age with some of his poems published in Scottish poetry collections, winning poetry competitions on BBC Radio 1 and being set on the musical path after winning a battle of the bands competition as a solo performer, probably not something that happens too often.

Little Fire : ” I was actually pretty close to joining the Navy had I not won that battle of the bands, I guess it was the little bit of confidence boosting that I needed at the time to encourage me to follow the path and I’m really glad for choosing the music.”

Having shared stages with many of his musical heroes Little Fire is now making a name for himself in his own right as an in demand music talent, his songwriting takes in influences from some of the most passionate songwriters including John Martyn, Ray LaMontagne and Joan Armatrading. With a hugely expressive voice he gives himself to his live performance, you can tell this is a guy who really means what he’s singing about.
