  • Bio

    " John Goldie is one of the finest Acoustic guitarists in the world today........Brilliant!" Martin Taylor .. New cd Open 4 Closure available now from John's site .. Review Scotland on Sunday .. Open 4 Closure **** Watercolour Music WCMCD035 Acoustic guitarist extraordinaire Goldie crosses more borders than a BBC foreign correspondent, and in company here with Angus Lyon's subtle accordion, bassist Duncan Lyall, drummer Jim Drummond, and added cello and tuba, builds beautiful textures, grooves and melody to lift this album way out of the ordinary. Confident, assertively performed and startlingly different – tango, gypsy, funk, classical, American folk and jazz are all thrown into a crystal-clear recording that's a must for every guitarist. .. Band site www.myspace.com/johngoldieband .. Biography .. John Goldie is without doubt a world class acoustic guitarist, incorporating a wide range of influences including jazz, blues, Celtic and funk. After a successful career as a sideman and session player, a chance meeting with jazz guitarist Martin Taylor led John to decide of a change of musical direction, duo gigs and eventually the award winning group Spirit of Django followed. As a solo artist John has toured worldwide and has also collaborated with some of the best players around including Tommy Emmanuel and George Benson. .. " Very creative, virtuosic guitarist...."
