A supreme storyteller with a magpie imagination
With a new album “Outsider” to celebrate, songwriter and guitarist with folk super group The Magpie Arc, Findlay Napier, is hitting the road. Coming all the way down from the Isle of Arran, Findlay will be packing his usual razor wit and guitar and chivvying and entertaining folk across the UK.
From the main stage of Cambridge Folk Festival to an intimate acoustic show in the back room of a pub, Findlay is widely regarded as one of the finest performers on the UK music scene.
Tirelessly creative he has been touring and releasing music since the early noughties. His skills as a songwriter have led to myriad collaborations and projects including setting up the Glasgow Songwriting Festival, and songwriting retreats at Moniack Mhor (Scotland’s Creative Writing Centre) alongside Boo Hewerdine, Karine Polwart and Bella Hardy.
