Johnny McElhone
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Johnny McElhone is a Scottish guitarist and songwriter, who was born John Francis McElhone, on 21 April 1963, in Glasgow.
Unusually, he has played with three, otherwise unconnected rock bands, who have all enjoyed a Top Twenty presence in the UK Singles Chart. Indeed, two of those groups (Altered Images and Texas) have repeated that feat in the UK Albums Chart.
In addition, McElhone (who founded the band) contributed the musical part of co-writing the bulk of Texas's material.
He is the son of Scottish Labour Party politician Frank McElhone.
