ABOUT

Familiar to South Africans from his hits All of Woman, Baby you been good, Perfect Day and many others, his music has evolved from the poprock sound of his early hits into a contemporary mix of roots and blues.
His latest album, “The Everlovin’ Wind” has had a great reception, with singles “Underground” and “Country Mile” hitting No 4 and No 1 on the Mix Fm SA top forty.

Born in Zambia to Scots parents, Robin's childhood was spent alternating between Southern Africa and Scotland; a journey reflected in the African and Celtic influences in his music.
He learned to play the guitar by listening to Hendrix, Ry Cooder and Neil Young, also absorbing influences from the various guitarists of Southern Africa.
Based in Kommetjie he has performed and recorded in New York, London, Glasgow and Nashville, performing at festivals such as Cambridge Folk Festival, Tartan Hearts, Gold Coast Ocean Fest and Womad. His show at Cafe Roux will be a full band show featuring some of SA's top musicians...a night of uplifting musical excellence not to be missed!

“A genuine and unaffected flowing together of cultural strands. And unlike a lot of singer/songwriters you can, hell you should, play this loud." - Unpeeled UK.
