Rhythmneel is a six-piece Celtic/rock band based in the
Highlands of Scotland for over a decade. They're in high demand for
music festivals & venues, marquee gigs, street parties, Highland
Games/Gala Dances, corporate functions and other similar events
throughout Scotland and overseas; particularly Holland & Germany
The band's set-list for larger events such as festivals and overseas
gigs, is Celtic rock- based (usually with a contemporary rock
twist), including our own arrangements of traditional Scottish tunes
led by pipes, fiddle and accordion.
At other events we throw in a clutch of classic celtic, folk & rock
tunes for good measure.
The band is in the unique situation of having three fantastic fiddle
players who share duties between them at the various gigs. Debbie
Ross has played with the band for a number of years and is
responsible along with Catriona on pipes for putting together most
of the celtic rock arrangements the band play and record. Paul
Dzialdowski is a veteran and stalwart of the Feis movement and folk
scene in the North of Scotland, and last but not least is Gillian
Stevenson who has played in some of the country's best ceilidh bands
over the past 20 years. They come up with many of our traditional
Scottish tunes.
In early 2007 the band were delighted to be joined by Donnie
Mackillop on drums, having played with a number of well known
ceilidh and rock bands around the country and overseas over the
previous 25 years. In early 2010 our latest recruit was Jim Kennedy
on lead vocals and accoustic guitar. Following a rock music
upbringing in Glasgow, Jim discovered traditional and ceilidh music
on moving North to the Highlands a few years ago with influences
ranging from Dougie Maclean to Paulo Nutini.
