John Hutchinson

John Hutchinson (pictured in 1983) wrote his first music article on Eric Clapton; it was followed a year or so later by an interview with him. Other pieces followed, and in the early 1980s he became a Contributing Editor to Musician magazine in New York, as well as to the short-lived Record magazine, owned by Rolling Stone. Based in Ireland, John has also written for local newspapers and magazines.
