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. For the show at The Alma Cafe, he will be joined by Schalk Joubert on bass and Tonia Moller on backing vocals and percussion. Born in Lusaka, Zambia to Scottish 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 Cape Town, 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 to name a few. Definitely one of the real ones in the South African music scene.
