Commissions

Alan has been commissioned to produce songs for the Wigtown Book Festival’s Doctor Megaphone Goes West and Zoom! Children’s science shows (see http://www.drmegaphone.com/ for more details), and Dumfries and Galloway’s Science Mayhem Day. He has contributed a song, 'Swallows', to the Smart Indie (EM Records) 'Animal Calendar' project, and this will soon have an animation attached to it.  He has produced bespoke songs for weddings and birthdays, and also writes topic-based songs for colleagues, usually with a scientific or humorous theme.

 

Stay at Home!

In April 2020 Alan was commissioned to contribute to Cranachan Publishing's free e-book, 'Stay at Home!' The collection celebrated the efforts of children in the fight against Coronavirus and brought together 40 Scottish authors, from relative newcomers to National Treasures. The book includes poems, stories and fascinating facts and is illustrated by Darren Gate. Alan's contribution was a Scots poem called 'Ma Name is Billy Baxter', inspired by the son of the janitor at the school where he teaches. The whole wonderful collection is available free from here: https://www.cranachanpublishing.co.uk/stay-at-home-2/
