Neil Sutcliffe

Resipole Studios provides an intimate setting for this lunchtime recital from accordionist, folk singer and storyteller Neil Sutcliffe. His roots are in the traditional music scene in Scotland, coming from a family of musicians and growing up surrounded by folksongs, ballads, pipe tunes, and ceilidh dancing. As a classical musician, he focuses on researching, performing and promoting neglected Scottish composers and music relating to Scottish history, language and place. Neil appeared at the festival in 2025 with his duo partner Roo Geddes, and will appear later with his new ensemble, the Bubblyjock Collective. Expect to hear moving music and stories told with engaging passion and humour.

This concert is preceded by the third of our Shieling Sessions: an informal Q&A with some of Resipole Studio's exhibiting artists, including printmaker Gill Tyson.
