Neil Adam and Judy Turner started playing together in 1995, after years of playing with groups as diverse and well known in their homelands as Silly Wizard in Scotland and Paradiddle in Australia. Judy started the Melbourne Scottish Fiddle Club in 1995, it still flourishes, and she has worldwide friendships in the world of Scottish fiddle playing. Having played at many Australian music festivals, they have maintained a presence in the UK too, touring most years and here they are 15 albums later. Their Robert Louis Stevenson Show took them to the UK, New Zealand and Samoa, including sold-out shows at the Edinburgh Festival, and other music ventures see them involved in recordings, live gigs in Australia and overseas, and a music podcast! With fingers in a lot of pies, they now also run CresFest, a highly regarded music festival in the beautiful small Victorian old gold-mining town of Creswick, Victoria. Neil and Judy performed at Whare Flat in 2005 as New Dogs Old Tricks, their family band, but now the kids have now grown up and are even more impossible to organise, so they are back as a duo! Concert performances include original songs, instrumental tunes, material trad. and not trad., and … the unexpected!
