His album releases have been well received “Beautifully recorded\, reminiscent of early Ralph McTell\, Dougie Maclean or even The Incredibles” Folk Roots Magazine. ‘Snawdraps’ written in old Scots by Gerry Cambridge and set to music by Neil became a joint winner of the 2016 Nòs Ùr competition sponsored by Hands up for Trad.

You decide! The improvised psychedelic hardcore punk duo bring tons of energy\, fun and loud noise\, with a comedic interactive twist. \n  \nLinzie Clark \n \nLinzi released her debut album ‘ All I Have Now’ in November last year featuring beautifully crafted songs that soar and yearn with love\, warmth and curiosity. A charming and natural performer on a stage\, Clark pairs her soulful vocals with striking pop arrangements that balance the rich storytelling tradition of artists like Julia Jacklin\, Regina Spektor and Kate Bush. Amongst the many notable successes\, her debut album went on to win Album of The Year at the Paisley Music Awards\, and was featured as Record of Note & Best of 2021 on BBC Radio Scotland by Roddy Hart. \nLink to music: https://linktr.ee/linziclark      Link to website: https://www.linziclark.com/ \n  \nSupport for the Cycle Powered Music Showcase comes from Music Broth \nMusic Broth is Scotland’s Loudest Library!
