Glyn Porrino – Biography


Born on 5 August 1953, former Llandudno resident, Glyn Porrino is a seasoned guitarist, composer, and producer whose work has spanned a wide range of rock and melodic styles over several decades. A founding member of Harvest Moon, he quickly became known in the North Wales music scene for his expressive guitar playing and strong songwriting sensibility.

Through the late 1970s and 1980s, Glyn played with bands such as Stepping Stones, White Tygrz, Nightwing, and Manalishi, contributing both as a lead guitarist and co-writer. His ability to move effortlessly between classic rock, progressive influences, and heavier melodic sounds helped shape the musical identity of several North Wales acts.

Porrino sessioned on a European tour with Nightwing and split Harvest Moon in 1984 on his return after a disagreement with keyboardist David Evans. He remained with million seller, six album Nightwing, whose releases include the critically acclaimed ‘Natural Survivors’ (1996).
