An Evening with Findlay Napier
About
Winner of the MG Alba Composer of the Year Award, Findlay is widely regarded as one of the finest performers on the UK music scene. He is as comfortable on the main Stage of Cambridge Folk Festival with folk rock supergroup The Magpie Arc as he is in an intimate acoustic show in the back room of a pub. 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 naughties. 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. In 2025 he was chosen, alongside Kate Rusby and Richard Thompson, to compose an original song for BBC Radio 2’s “21st Century Folk”. He performed his song “Firecracker” on live on The Jeremy Vine Show and BBC Radio 4’s Front Row.Findlay lives on the Isle of Arran with his family. His latest album 'Outsider' was released in April 2025 as a CD and an incredible 154 page coffee table book featuring augmented reality content.
"... one of the finest songwriters and storytellers of the contemporary Scottish folk scene." - FolkRadio UK
"Coming on like a Caledonian Loudon Wainwright ... A superbly crafted compilation of Songs" - Acoustic Magazine
"He's good and he's really funny too! He's got that classic brilliant banter with the audience as well. Lovely to hear the storytelling in the songs as well as in between. A wonderful cacophony of bizarre and brilliant tales of real people."
- Edith Bowman, BBC Quay Sessions
