BIOGRAPHY:

Amazing and underrated guitarist, I always wondered why he didn´t become a more famous player, a star. It seems he´s only loved by his mate musicians, but people out there should recognize his immense talent.

Born in 1954, he´s brother to lovely singer Diana Johnstone (who was the first wife of guitarist and Jo´s mate, Davey Johnstone).
