Neil Barclay is a skilled singer, guitarist and entertainer who has been thrilling and entertaining audiences in his own inimitable style for many years with his highly polished Swing and Rock’n’Roll live performances. Born and raised in Hampshire, UK, from an early age, Neil fell in love with the music of the true greats of the Swing and Rock’n’Roll music genres… Frank Sinatra, Dean Martin, Bobby Darin, The Beatles, The Rolling Stones, Elvis Presley, Roy Orbison… to name but a few!

 

From humble beginnings, learning his trade on the local pub and club circuit, Neil has sung at weddings, dinner dances, private functions, poolside parties, champagne receptions and corporate events… and in 2013 he even performed with a children’s choir on the main concert stage of the Sydney Opera House, no less! After a successful six year spell in Australia, Neil is now back in the UK full time. He comes complete with his own high-quality Bose PA system and professional lighting rig. Incidental and background music can also be supplied throughout the event, between live performances (so no need to book an additional DJ.)

Neil Barclay is one of life’s fab guys – funny, kind and musically brilliant. He played at my 50th birthday – mixing the greats like Sinatra and Darin before supper, with a fab set of rock and roll which got my guests up dancing the night away. Thanks loads Mr “B” – see you for my 60th if not before. (Judith S, private client).
