John Kirkbride was born in the north of Scotland in 1946. He was brought up with Celtic and traditional Scottish influences.
Kirkbride was discharged from the Royal Air Force in 1970 and moved to New York where he played street music. He went on to play bass for Pete Seeger, Arlo Guthrie and Joan Baez.
In 1976 Kirkbride returned from the United States and settled in The Netherlands where he recorded TRACKS and three further albums. In the early 1980s he settled in Germany where today he is an established artist.
A meeting in a Münich bar in 1990 reintroduced him to Alan Johnson. They went on to form the JFK Blues Band and tour the United Kingdom twice in 1994.
