“More rock’n’roll than 50 shitty indie bands” (BluesBunny) Findlay Napier is one of Scotland’s finest singer songwriters. In 2018 he was the first solo act to be nominated for Live Act of the Year at the Scot’ s Trad. Music Awards. Described as Micheal Marra meets Elvis Costello, a Caledonian Loudon Wainwright III or a Scottish James Taylor this master storyteller’s songs are full of earthy humour, hopeless love and biting satire. His remarkable 2015 solo debut VIP: Very Interesting Persons (produced by Boo Hewerdine) was number two in the Daily Telegraph’ s top dozen folk albums that year and categorically commanded him musical VIP status. In 2017 he turned those same supreme songwriting and storytelling gifts, allied with magpie-minded imagination and truly magnificent vocals, to his adoptive home town Glasgow on VIP’ s hotly anticipated follow-up. Findlay was part of Folk by The Oak’ s successful “ Shake the Chains” touring and album project. 2019 saw his Story Song Scientist’ s collaboration with award winning songwriter Megan Henwood tour across the UK in support of their eponymous fIrst EP. A tour and 2nd EP are due 2021. He is currently working with Blazin’ Fiddles piano/producer Angus Lyon on an LP of new songs called “It Is What It Is”. His third solo album will be released in late 2021 when he supports Eddi Reader on her autumn tour. This year with his wife Gillian Frame and composer/producer/multi-instrumentalist Mike Vass he released The Ledger. The album, a time capsule of the 50’ s folk scene, contains ten traditional Scottish folk songs. They performed The Ledger at the prestigious TED summit in Edinburgh and at Celtic Connections. Findlay is also the host of Celtic Connections “ Late Night Sessions”, director of Glasgow Songwriting Festival and recently appeared in season two of Starz network’ s flagship show The Spanish Princess.
