Autor

Johnnie Johnstone was reared on a diet of Debussy, bossa nova, and Stevie Wonder, inheriting from his mother his insatiable passion for music. In his twenties, he worked in record shops, amassing a huge record collection, which he sold in a moment of madness around twenty-five years ago. For his penance, he resolved to begin writing about the music he loved, initially via a blog founded with a few friends in 2015 (www.thenewperfectcollection.com). He contributes regularly to Shindig! and Record Collector magazines and has also written for Louder Than War. Johnstone is a secondary school teacher in East Kilbride and lives in Glasgow with his wife Wendy and his four children.
