-----------------------------
Born in Lusaka, Zambia to Scots parents, Robin's childhood was spent alternating between Southern Africa and Scotland; a journey reflected in the African and Celtic influences in his music. He learned to play the guitar by listening to Hendrix, Ry Cooder and Neil Young, also absorbing influences from the various guitarists of Southern Africa such as Philip Tabane.
His first albums were produced by Kevin "Caveman" Shirley, which resulted in the SA hits "All of Woman" and "Baby you been good." With several extended stints abroad he has continued to record in both South Africa, New York and the UK, releasing another thirteen albums and performing at festivals such as Cambridge Folk Festival, Tartan Hearts, Gold Coast Ocean Fest, Grahamstown Festival and Womad. His acclaimed latest release, "The Everlovin' Wind"... recorded in Kalk Bay, Cape Town, with contributions from some of the Cape's top musicians, has been received enthusiastically with the first single "Underground" charting nationally on Mix FM and other stations.
