Richard Ayton

John McDines is a singer who's love of Scotland is poured into his music, not just the scenery, but the culture, the sense of belonging that formed him. Each song is like a postcard., every word written by John McDines is a tribute to the place that keeps on inspiring him.

It's an honesty that shines through John’s performances and music. He sings with the clarity and passion of someone who tells a story, but also celebrates and respects it. His melodies are warm and familiar like heirlooms, yet his writing is given an added spark and freshness straight from Scotland.
