Ian Bairnson is one of those session guitar greats whose name may not ring a bell, but whose playing is nothing short of ubiquitous.
Bairnson – who sadly passed away last April – played a dazzling guitar solo on Kate Bush's groundbreaking hit, Wuthering Heights, lent electric guitar work to albums by Kenny Rogers and Tom Jones, served as a live guitarist for Sting and Stanley Clarke, and even appeared on Paul McCartney's chart-topping Mull of Kintyre (on backing vocals).
