He is a bit like Daniel beddingfield and Ricky Martin. But a lot better than them. Sandy plays on it too. Here's a list slide guitar, harmonia, 12 string guitar, accordian. mandolin backing vocals. here is a list of john playing lead vocals, backing vocals, acoustic and electric guitars, bass guitar, percussion. It is available to buy. The details on john's website. Izzy :D

Lucky you ! I hope you'll have an excellent time. Incidentally, I just found an old interview of Alec who speaks a lot about his brother John. I thought you might find it interesting.

He stars in Dune, an acclaimed multi-million dollar mini-series

Daily Post (Liverpool)

He stars in Dune, an acclaimed multi-million dollar mini-series on the Sci-Fi Channel, in which he appears alongside William Hurt, with whom he's pictured above. Alec is soon to start work on the sequel, Children of Dune, and can be seen in the play Andorra at the Young Vic Theatre, London from October 19 to November 10.
YOU'RE hosting an imaginary dinner party and can invite anyone in the world, living or dead, to your house for one night only...

Who would be on your invitation list - and why?

"It sounds boring but my family - especially my brother and his wife who live in Anchorage, Alaska. I'd get to see my baby niece, Daisy, for the first time. I'd also invite my boyhood heroes such as Billy Connolly and Kenny Dalglish. I'd love to see them together to see if Connolly could make Dalglish laugh. And probably a hot record producer to sign my brother John, who's a solo artist."

What food would you serve?

"I'd have to be careful because my girlfriend is a vegetarian. Probably Thai curry with fish, coconut milk and sticky rice."

Which music would you play?

"I'd get my brother John to play a lot of rock, soulful tunes."

Who would you have as the lackey in the kitchen?

"It would probably be me but I quite like the idea of Max Frisch, writer of my new play Andorra or the Oscar-winning photographer Vittorio Storario who worked on Dune."

Which after-dinner joke would you tell?

"I'd leave that up to Billy Connolly but, if I had to tell one, it would be the one about Kenny Dalglish who's in a pub at Happy Hour. So he leaves."

How would this unlikely event compare to the way you normally entertain friends?

"I wouldn't normally have my brother there, or Billy Connolly and Kenny Dalglish, but aside from that it would be about the same."

Alec Newman, 26, was born in Glasgow and has appeared in Dangerfield, Silent Witness and Murder Rooms.

Down to earth person he is a very talent musician singer songwriter. We meet in the Silver moon pub. we talked about alec. He has seen has brother in ages. I told him about some of what i have in my alec collection. He said you really are a fan. I showed him my photo with alec. he said that principles of Lust was good. I asked him about dad. He has performed with his dad in public. He has split up with his wife but has a girlfriend. His little girl is 5 years old.
