John MacKenzie, 66, is originally from Glasgow, but has spent most of his life so far living and working in many different places.
In the 60s he sang in folk clubs around the London [UK] area, and ran a club of his own in the late 60s, at the Coach and Horses pub in Kew Green, near the world famous Kew Gardens.
During that time he did a recording for the BBC, and was asked to record an LP, which somehow never got made. He was recorded by a field reporter for CBC at Cambridge Folk Festival, but doesn't know whether it was ever used when it got back to Canada.
In the 70s he gave up music and took up trucking, and spent the next 18 years driving around Europe.
Around 12 years ago, he bought a new guitar and started back again, since when he has sung at a few festivals, and various local venues.
He now lives in the Scottish Highlands 60 miles north of Inverness, the Highland Capital.
Musically his tastes are eclectic, and he sings anything that moves him.
He plays 6 & 12 string guitars, and a little bit of harmonica.
