NEIL DIXON


English

Coming from the cold and wet Orkney Islands off the North coast of Scotland, Neil's interest in music started early. After having played with numerous musicians in Orkney, he moved to Edinburgh to reach a larger public. He formed or was part of many different formations, trying different styles from folk to big beat. He has played far and wide in Europe from Denmark to Italy. He has recorded with his groups and solo with the indie label Little Nimo.
Today living in France near Grenoble, he is devoted to his music. Talented composer and singer his voice is often compared to Jeff Buckley's, and is clear and sure. His guitar playing is rhythmic and precise. With his new trio, the spirit is still in rock but with diverse influences which intertwine to colour his compositions with accents of jazz and folk.
