  • Bio

    Robbie MacInnes was formed on a hot summer's day in the 1970's, and the lineup has remained the same ever since. The No.1 in the charts that week was 10cc's 'I'm Not In Love'. Here is a recent interview Robbie did with Ian Russell for 'Ayrshire on Sunday': MUSIC THRILLS WITHOUT FRILLS "Robbie MacInnes is a new breed of fine Ayrshire singer songwriters. But his current lofty standing - city gigs, critical acclaim and a debut EP on the way - is far from the 'overnight success' label slapped on him by some 'in the know'. Robbie bought his first guitar in the mid-1990's, so it's hardly been a rapid rise to fame (his fortune's still to made). There's nothing fancy about the purchase then, from the old Index catalogue store in his hometown's King Street, and there are no frills about Robbie now. The guitar, 'a piece of rubbish' Robbie reckons, cost just £29, but he treasured the flimsy instrument and spent the next six months working his way through a 'How To Play Guitar' book he bought in the town's RGM Music Shop. Trying to play the chords for songs like (cringe) Amazing Grace and She'll be Coming Round the Mountain resulted in bleeding fingers, naturally. "But eventually I got the hang of it," said Robbie, "and it wasn't long until I was writing my own stuff. I think that's where a lot of wannabe guitarists fall down - they buy a guitar and just want to learn how to play their favourite riff from their favourite album. When they realise they aren't getting anywhere they get bored, stick the guitar in the corner of their bedroom, and hope that it will get them a girlfriend." The MacInnes philosophy? "If you want to play the cool stuff you have to persevere with the crap at the start!" Now, after stints with bands including Due North, later Moseley, and Joan of Arkansas, the Caprington kid is solo and it's so far, so good for him and his beautiful batch of Americana-tinged tales. Obviously influenced by Crosby, Stills, Nash & Young, Bob Dylan, The Byrds and The Beatles, Robbie's a man going places. He's hopefully and deservedly, about to break through to a wider audience."
