The consumate professional who has taken song-writing to a high level having spent 50 years on the road travelling the world again and again. Poetry with music and songs encapsulating the realism of otherwise unsung heroes, otherwise uncharted lives. '...beautifully crafted, worldly-wise songs... ' (Scotsman). Allan will sing his songs of the road, written from a lifetime of travelling throughout the world. He has made twenty albums and his songs have been recorded by more than one hundred and fifty artists. Reviewed in The Living Tradition magazine, Grem Devlin said, "The guy can simply tease exactly the right emotions out of what appears, on first listening, to be the simplest of lyrics - but in truth possessing the ultimate depth and scale". The renowned journalist Nigel Schofield said, "This album is a masterpiece". Sit back and enjoy the journey.
