Description
2016 will see John McCusker celebrate 25 years as a professional musician & 'Hello, Goodbye' is his first solo album in 12 years, using excellent handpicked, traditional & non-traditional musicians.

This record of John's compositions was written while on a world tour with Mark Knopfler last year & recorded in his brand new studio, a bothy built in 1779 but recently turned into a state of the art recording studio, in the heart of the Scottish Borders.
John has long been renowned for his skill at transcending musical boundaries.
