John Carnie has long been involved in the music scene in Scotland - both traditional and blues. Leaving Edinburgh in 1985 to move to Aberdeen to take up a job, he quickly also found himself playing in two critically acclaimed groups - Off the Tracks and Desperate Danz Band.
These bands cemented John’s reputation as one of the top guitarists playing in the traditional & folk scene in Scotland and allowed him to draw on his love of playing traditional tunes on the guitar.
More recently he was involved in teaching and was a guitar tutor at the Scottish Culture and Tradition classes teaching flatpicking guitar. He also formed the Mountain Blues Ramblers an acoustic trio featuring Dave Moir on guitar and Spider Mackenzie on harmonica. |
