Neville Skelly

Liverpool troubadour effortlessly weaving elements of jazz, country and folk from his critically acclaimed timeless new album Carousel.

Skelly released his debut solo album, The Poet & The Dreamer, in 2011. An album of original compositions alongside a number of covers, including Woody Guthrie, Jackson C. Frank and Dion tracks. His follow up Carousel featuring all original songs was recorded on the Wirral using a basic set-up, and an array of top players including ex-Coral members, resulting in a remarkable album.

Eclectic, authentic and heartfelt it explores the intersection of folk and jazz. That will no doubt resonate with aficionados of John Martyn, Tim Buckley and Nick Drake. His innate sense of 'the song' make it utterly compelling.
