Findlay Napier is one of the most highly-regarded performers and creative forces on the Scottish music scene; thoroughly active and truly energised with a heart-warming zing.
Napier made his name touring and recording with multi-award winning traditional Scottish folk band Back of the Moon. In his more recent projects Queen Anne’s Revenge and The Bar Room Mountaineers his song-writing took centre stage and was described by The Sunday Herald as “Genuine songcraft and wit following in the Difford & Tilbrook tradition”.
