Queen Anne's Revenge

About Me

'Queen Anne's Revenge' is the title given to Findlay Napier and Nick Turner's song writing partnership. They have created the song-writing duo that has plundered the high seas of popular music to craft songs that are at once universal and uniquely Scottish. Finally, after the release of their first self titled album and with the second due out this year, it is time to bring the songs to a larger audience.

Findlay Napier is best known for his work with multi award winning traditional band ‘Back of the Moon’ but his most recent live outings have been with his new band 'Findlay Napier and the Bar Room Mountaineers'. The new band blends the contemporary lyrics and sound of the 'Queen Anne's Revenge' material with traditional songs of Scotland.
