Biography of Roly Johnson

Roly Johnson is a singer/songwriter based in Northumberland UK. A musical career that has spanned his entire life, including folk-gospel work with varous pop bands in clubs and pubs, and as a solo artist, travelling all over the world including Canada, Europe, Eastern Europe, USSR, Israel, and The Baltics.

Roly’s music creates pictures and tells stories. He is both a poet who sings and a singer who writes poetry. It is perhaps best summed up by the concept of ‘Songs About Life’ - and about the relationship we have with our Creator, and the implications that has for all of us - whether we believe in Him or not. Sometimes it’s about struggle, sometimes about the good things that happen to us, but always about the intimacy of a one-on-one relationship with someone who is sometimes difficult to understand, but who understands us completely.

“You were part of my life Then you left Without any trauma To you Yet Untold damage caused To me There’s no answer To this Not sure I want one There’s always something to learn And Time does give perspective In time”................twrj    2011
