Findlay Napier

From the Main Stage of Cambridge Folk Festival with folk rock supergroup The Magpie Arc to an intimate acoustic show in the back room of a pub Findlay Napier is widely regarded as one of the
finest performers on the UK music scene. This fact was further highlighted when Napier was the first solo act ever to be nominated for

Live Act of the Year at the Scot?s Trad Music awards in
2018. Tirelessly creative he has been touring and releasing music since the early noughties.
First with groundbreaking trad folk band Back of the Moon, then with Nu-Folk pioneers Findlay Napier and the Bar Room Mountaineers and most recently as a solo act working under the guidance of legendary songwriter Boo Hewerdine.

His breakthrough solo album VIP: Very Interesting Persons, produced by Boo Hewerdine, was number 2 in The Telegraph?s top folk albums of 2014. He followed it with 2017?s Glasgow described by The Scotsman as ?a paean to his adopted home town? which led to a number of
high profile gigs including a couple of seasons as opening act on Eddi Reader?s UK tour.
In 2021 he released It Is What It Is a collaboration album in all but name with producer and multi instrumentalist Angus Lyon which Folk Radio UK called, ?A captivating, indispensable work; it is
what it is and what it is, is magnificent."

Described as a ?miracle lyricist? by the Sunday Herald and ?an original and engaging treat? by The Telegraph his skills as a songwriter and collaborator have led him to work on some surprising and
interesting projects. In 2017 he was invited to take part in Greg Russell?s ?Shake the Chains? project with Nancy Kerr and Hannah Martin where they toured, recorded and released a double
live album. After meeting award winning songwriter Megan Henwood at an EFDSS songwriting retreat he formed the duo The Story Song Scientists writing songs about science releasing two EPs and touring the UK.
In late 2021 he joined folk rock supergroup The Magpie Arc with Martin
Simpson, Tom A Wright, Alex Hunter and Nancy Kerr performing on festival main stages and arts centres across the UK. Their debut album ?Glamour in the Grey?, featuring three of Napier?s original songs including a co-write with Max O?Conner was released in October 2022.

Findlay lives on the Isle of Arran with his family. His next solo album ?An Extensive List of Lost Things? will be released in early 2024 accompanied by a UK and Canadian tour.
?One of the finest songwriters and storytellers of the contemporary Scottish folk scene." Folk Radio UK

?Think campfires and tradition, past voices being handed down, characters that spring up from the soil of childhood and a curiosity-bone last seen holding up a t-rex. All human life is here, given
a beating heart via Napier?s warm handshake of a voice and memorable melodies.? Paul Woodgate- No Depression

BOB M
In the realm of indie music, artists who craft their compositions in the solitude of late night walks often produce raw and evocative tracks. Bob Moston, known as Bob M, unveils his debut EP, ?I Dream Of You Tonight,? encapsulating the essence of these nocturnal wanderings. Formerly recognized as Merrym?n, Bob M delivers an enchanting collection of acoustic-driven alt-folk songs that offer a glimpse into the dreams he conjures while strolling the streets of rural suburbia under the glow of flickering streetlights.

Bob M?s music draws inspiration from the quiet moments that occur during nocturnal walks through the serene streets of rural suburbia. These songs come to life as a home recording project, crafted with utmost care and intimacy. As you embark on this musical journey, you?ll find yourself transported to the very streets Bob wandered, illuminated by flickering streetlights.
