Scottish Celtic Harmonica player Donald Black, the eldest son of a forestry worker, hails from Benderloch in Argyll, Scotland.

He received his first harmonica from a kindly aunt at the tender age of four.

His roots are firmly steeped in the West of Scotland Highland Bagpipe and Gaelic Tradition, but his repertoire extends beyond this to embrace the musical idioms of Ireland, The Shetland Isles, Cape Breton / Nova Scotia and mainstream Scotland.
