Neil har haft stor succes og erfaring med sit band og han vil i 2007 udoverat tournere med bandet også tournere solo. Han vil føre sin optrædentilbage til de oprindelige rødder i sit solo show og levere sit eget originalemateriale blandet med sange af sine engelske og irske favorit folk sangere.Neil har igennem årerne optrådt i hele verden hvilket har givet ham storinspiration til sin sangskrivning. Neil vil optræde til mindre arrangementerbl.a. Folk clubs men også som opvarmingsband i folk/pub telte på festivaler.

Neil er meget rig på erfaring med at optræde live. Han er varm, humoristisk og naturlig med sit publikum og formår at skabe en stærk intimitet med publikum med sine velskrevne ballader og livlige numre...... A very strong troubadour......

Han har kommet et langt stykke vej fra deres gamle ”bar-room folklore” stil, både musikalsk og proffesionelt, hvilket har givet dem kultstatus og en betragtelig (og voksende!) fanskare. Hans travle hjemmeside www.neilbrophy.com viser over 32000 besøgende, en ofte besøgt gæstebog og up-to-date informationer om hans bandet.

A perfect warm up act and very much at home in the festival acoustic tents. This coming summer Neil will be performing songs from his new solo album “Roots Boots & Bars” that will be released next spring, where he writes about growing up in a small town England in the early 80’s, the day to day bar life, the music scene and his world travels where he kept his “roots in his boots”.

His reputable lively performances this year have seen him opening up in Denmark for the Oysterband and the Levellers and also had successful appearances at their festivals in the UK. It’s true that you can take an Englishman out of England but you’ll never take England away from Neil or his song writing.



Oysterband’s Big Session Festival:

Following Curtis is Denmark based Neil Brophy. Neil is a man with a unique voice, versed in the traditions of English folk and Dylan-esque protest. His songs talk of a land where the Devil can be found in a whisky jar and brave honest local lads defend their jobs and homes against wicked Iron Masters. Its great stuff, entirely predictable, and all the better for it.

Levellers Beautiful Days Festival:

Neil is known for his English/Celtic acoustic folk anthems, catchy, lively charming songs that have been going down a storm across Europe’s festivals. His charismatic stage presence oozes warmth, the songs push out the melody and the choruses are irrepressible. Flitting across the musical mores, a little folk here, a little rock there a lot of fun everywhere, he’s a real crowd pleaser.
