Neil Watson is a Scottish singer/songwriter. Raised in the small village of Pathhead, Midlothian, the 29 year old’s love for music started at an early age whilst listening to his parent’s record collection, instantly falling in love with the music of, among others, Bruce Springsteen and Cat Stevens – who remain influences to this day.

Neil has turned people on to his music with his powerful voice and heartfelt lyrics, being described by US recording artist Daniel Glenn Timms as “an exceptional singer with songs that are real…”. His performances in and around Edinburgh have not gone unnoticed by local music promoters and have led to him securing many headlining slots alongside the main support slots for established artists such as Chris Helme (formerly of the Seahorses) and Martin Metcalfe (formerly of Goodbye Mr McKenzie).
