Roo & Neil
Thursday 25th September 2025
On tour this September
Overview
Roo & Neil hit the road again this September to launch their new album, ‘Play it Again’ , which celebrates the traditional tunes that have journeyed with them over their last ten years as a duo. In the wake of their first album HOMELANDS, which blended their shared backgrounds in folk, jazz and classical music, the pair have returned their attention to the folk traditions they were raised with. ‘Play it Again’ sets these melodies without predetermined arrangements, allowing for improvisation whilst keeping the tunes front and centre. The pair have spent the past year immersed in old collections as well as learning tunes from contemporary composers. The album also features tunes written by Roo and Neil that they have been playing for over 10 years together. Over their many years as friends making music together, they have developed a playful and tender approach to performing which showcases these melodies with all the richness of feeling, character and community contained within them
About Roo & Neil:
For over a decade, Roo and Neil have combined their shared experience across Classical and traditional Scottish music to create new original music for violin and accordion. Their compositions are inspired by landscape and people, and by how music can evoke a sense of place and community. Their music was selected as a winner of Fèis Rois’ ‘In Tune with Nature’ competition and they were honoured to receive Celtic Connections’ Danny Kyle Award. The duo head to the studio to record their second album in June after the enthusiastic response of their debut ‘HOMELANDS’. They maintain a busy concert schedule performing for jazz, classical and folk audiences alike, from rural touring to venues such as the Usher Hall and the Royal Concert Hall in Glasgow. They also enjoy a close relationship with charity Live Music Now, bringing dozens of performances to secluded and underprivileged communities
