4. John Wright (born in Bournemouth on 22 June 1947; died 7 February 2008) was a British folk musician. Wright's enthusiasm for folk music stemmed from his time in the army. In 1990, with the proceeds from the sale of a horse, he self-funded the recording of a cassette of his unaccompanied traditional songs, Border Crossings. For his next recording, he teamed up with local folk guitarist Kenny Spiers. Paul and Linda Adams of Cumbria-based Fellside Records were impressed by his singing, and in 1993 they released his first CD, Ride the Rolling Sky, with Kenny on guitar and Wattie Robson on fiddle. When an agent in the Netherlands asked them to do a tour there at short notice, these three musicians became The John Wright Band extant in the Scottish Borders during most of the 1980's/90's... John had 13 CDs to his credit and in 2005 released his first DVD – ‘John Wright Life and Live’.
