  • Bio

    Arnie Cottrell has been playing music for most of his life. He started out on the folk scene of the 60s and 70s where he formed an enduring but interrupted friendship with East end guitarist, singer and songwriter Richard Digance. He went on to play in various Rhythm and Blues, Soul, Reggae, psychedelic psycho outfits, Cajun, Old Timey, Ceilidh outfits before realising that his true love was acoustic music as long as the songs are good. That's where he is now. He's opened twice for Robert Cray and once for Keb Mo. Each gig was a towering success. He has cult followings the length and breadth of the country and in odd corners of the world. He has 3 c.d.s out (the first, "Sorry About That" was played coast to coast in the U.S,.A.) and is working on the next two. His son Joel has become a hard act for his father to follow and is a fine guitarist, singer and songwriter..... ..Layout by: .... .. .. .. .. .. .. .. ..
