Brian McNeill - Scottish Music from the Virtual Hebrides
| Rock & Pop | Modern Folk | Trad. Folk | Pipes / Fiddle | Solo & Misc |
Brian McNeill was born in Falkirk, Scotland, in 1950. He began his musical training in his early teens with formal violin lessons, but soon forsook that instrument for the electric guitar. A comprehensive musical education and a mildly misspent youth were the result - until his student years brought him to Celtic music. He knew immediately that this was a music he had to play and as a direct consequence, in 1969 he picked up his fiddle again and formed The Battlefield Band, which has since become one of Scotland's best-known ensembles.
