JD Meatyard
Glasgow born John Donaldson aka Jd Meatyard, a DNA line from Dungannon to Glasgow and on thru Darwen, Liverpool, Manchester and Rotterdam to Malaga. stories to tell! Starting with skiffle nights at home with ma n da, sisters and brother banging the songs out on busted guitars and my beats from a floor tom… joining the bands then was au naturel! Side Effect, Levellers 5 then Calvin Party… and, now, many albums as Jd Meatyard.

The Weak And The Strong
Solo artist The Weak And The Strong (1999, Rotterdam NL) experiments with various sounds. Expect anything between plain songs and soundscapes. Words mainly in English, but sometimes Dutch, German or imaginary words. Driven by "the ghosts in his head" and inspired by Michael Gira, Joy Division and Velvet Underground.

During live-shows the basic, pure, raw and intense songs are performed by just a voice and a battered acoustic guitar and more recently (and depending on the occasion) the sound on stage changes due to the use of an electric guitar, effect-pedals a basic synth-drone and a drum machine.
