Justin Adams

Justin Adams co-wrote The Robert Plant album "Mighty Rearranger" released in 2005 to rave reviews. He has played guitar with Robert's band the Strange Sensation around the world, gaining an awesome live reputation. 2007 sees the release of Tinariwen's third album "Aman Iman" which is already established as an album of the year, produced by Justin.

His distinctive style came to prominence in 1990 with Jah Wobble's Invaders of the Heart. Since then he has worked with Sinead O'Connor, Natacha Atlas, Damien Dempsey, and LO'JO, as well as releasing his own "Desert Road" album. He has composed two feature film soundtracks, and was instrumental in setting up the legendary Festival of the Desert. He produced Tinariwen's debut "the Radio Tisdas Sessions", and first collaborated with Robert Plant on 2002's Grammy nominated "Dreamland "album.

While continuing to write and gig with Robert Plant, this year Justin is working on a duo project with a West African master griot, exploring the heart of the Blues.
