Neil has been recorded on albums for Gaberlunzie, Tich Frier, Sheena Wellington, John Watt, Colin Ramage, Paddyrasta, Ewen Sutherland and Jack Beck as well as many others . He is currently a member of the 'Orwell Ceilidh Band' (named after the local parish of Orwell which has the village of Milnathort within its boundaries)
Most recently, Neil has started working with Bob Stewart in 'What's a' the Steer?' - a duo which plays Scottish Folk Music and songs.
Neil also plays as part of a duo (called The Riggin) with an excellent young fiddler called Karen Hannah. (pictured above with Neil) Neil & Karen made up a quartet called 'Randan' along with Tom Roche and Brian Cromarty, which performed at the recent Wallonian Festival in Belgium. They also made radio and television appearances during this festival. More recently, Randan performed at the Caird Hall in Dundee as support to Blazin' Fiddles.
