| Alasdair was born into a musical
family in the summer of 1975. He taught himself to play guitar using a chord
chart and the music edition of Songs of Praise. Alasdair sung in
many choirs, including that of an Oxford college to which he never belonged,
and later in the nMC. He was introduced to filk in his final year at university,
and attended the very next convention, armed with a couple of songs of his
own. He left the convention feeling that he had found a new home. Alasdair
wrote the tune for Evil Overlords
Anonymous after being given the lyrics and the instruction that
the tune should be "something between an anthem and an advertising
jingle". Alasdair's promise to become a prolific songster was sadly
cut short when he died suddenly in 2001. He is remembered as much for the
songs he never got time to write as he is for the songs he left behind.
