| October 2, 2011: Brian McNeill | ||
As WHFMS embarks on its 40th season, singer Brian McNeill celebrates the 40th year of a career as one of the most acclaimed forces in Scottish music. Founder of the Battlefield Band, described as Scotland's most meaningful contemporary songwriter, he is praised for his warm, rich voice and his prowess on fiddle, guitar, bouzouki, concertina and hurdy gurdy. Brian has toured the globe as a soloist and collaborated with some of the era's most influential artists, sharing stage and studio with Dick Gaughan, Martin Hayes, Natalie MacMaster and others. The Scotsman calls him "...a songwriter who can pack a man's lifetime into a few bustling verses and an ear-tugging chorus and give you the feeling that he has said all that needs to be said." Brian was last in Woods Hole in 1981 with the Battlefield Band - let's welcome him warmly after 30 years.
