My name is Marc Johnston, I have been married to Suzy for over 14 years and we have three wonderful young boys.
She is the reason I do anything at all.

This site is an unashamed plug for anybody looking to employ me in the future...I believe I have some decent abilities and experience to offer any prospective client and to that end here is a bit about who I am. My main job is a musician. I have been playing piano, keyboards and guitar professionally for over 25 years now starting my studies as a seven year old and taking my first wage aged 13, much to the annoyance of the school board. My father was a huge influence in my life and he encouraged my musical career and helped my sister and myself travel extensively in those early days. I left home aged 17 and traveled with a rock band for a few years before settling in the south of England as there seemed to be more work on the south coast for a musician.
Along the way various opportunities revealed themselves to me including many trips abroad, including a 3 month spell entertaining the troops out in Bahrain during the first Gulf war. That was certainly an experience not to be forgotten and a memory I will carry the rest of my life. It was such a pleasure to play to a thousand different troops every three days and get to meet so many fascinating people in such difficult circumstances.

Studio work was always a passion and I learned the basics of recording and was able to flex my musical arranging muscles along side some big albeit rather diverse names, which I believe gives testament to my flexibility and versatility as an all round musician. The following is a brief synopsis for a less formal look at who I am and what I can do for you.

Over the years I have tackled almost every style of music in one way or another. I love playing good quality pop and rock music and to that end I gig on my own and with a very talented female singer called Mila.

We have been playing together for over 4 years now and thoroughly enjoy our time on stage. We can be seen live every Sunday and Tuesday in the Boulevard of Los Zocos, here in Costa Teguise Beginning at 8.30pm. All are welcome to this pleasant and rather large covered terraces of restaurants.

I have played Big Band Jazz in Devon, Trad Jazz in Cornwall, Rock music just about all over the world, I have played on Cruise ships, Theatres, TV in several countries, have composed music for many hundreds of Radio Adverts. In 2007 I was commissioned to write the music for a History Channel TV documentary which is still on the play cycle as I write this. I was Musical Director for the infamous MAX BYGRAVES for his album 50 Golden Years, celebrating his 50th anniversary in show business, and which actually got to Number 10 in the Album Charts.
I also did a string of recording sessions with producers Brad Davis and Jon Sweet, including a string arrangement and conducting session of the London Concert Strings led by the massively talented Gavyn Wright, and a bit of extra keyboard work for Jethro Tull guitarist, Martin Barre for his solo album "A Trick OF Memory".
