Twenty Five Years of Music together!

Neil and Judy started playing together in 1995, after years of playing with groups as diverse and well known in their homelands as Silly Wizard in Scotland and Paradiddle in Australia. Having played at practically every Australian folk festival, they have maintained a presence in the UK too, touring most years. Their Stevenson Show has taken them to New Zealand and Samoa in recent years, and other music ventures see them involved in recordings and live gigs in Australia and overseas. Judy started the Melbourne Scottish Fiddle Club in 1995, it still flourishes, and she has worldwide friendships in the world of Scottish fiddle playing.
