Brian David "Robbo" Robertson (born 12 February 1956) is a Scottish rock guitarist, best known as a member of Thin Lizzy and Motörhead.
He studied cello and classical piano for eight years before switching to the guitar and drums. He played in gigs around his local area with bands like Dream Police, who later evolved into the Average White Band.
In June 1974, Thin Lizzy were auditioning for a new guitarist and a try-out for Robertson was arranged. Aged 17, Robertson was taken on along with Scott Gorham on the other lead guitar. The two lead guitarists provided a critical part of Thin Lizzy's signature sound, referred to by critics as their "twin guitar attack". In 1978 Robertson finally left the band and was replaced by guitarist Gary Moore, whom he had replaced in 1974.
Since, he has performed solo and with Motorhead, among others. Robertson lives in Essex, England when he is not on tour or recording in Scandinavia, where he spends a lot of his working time.
