I'm looking forward to heading up to Tarbert this weekend to play at Live at the Loch festival....

I've just posted a full run down of my acoustic live rig setup using my Quad Cortex for everything: guitar, vocal, kick trigger. Check it out over in my YouTube youtu.be/zzyaSsx7030?...

I've just started a new series on how I record acoustic guitar.
Part 1 is all about the source choosing the right guitar and making the performer feel great.
(Full version is up on YouTube if you'd rather get the whole picture)

Well chuffed to have my record player back working again... Looking forward to getting back into my record collection 😃

Cool Waters by @marknealmusic.bsky.social is the amalgamation of over twenty years of being a musician in bands and touring. It’s an intimate look at a whole life, basking in every joy and mourning every sorrow.

Today I have been installing acoustic treatment in the recording studio control room. I did the acoustic design for the room a few months back so it's great to get it all finished and hear the results.

Another nice review of my music. ‘More than you can see‘. Fuelled by intelligent chordal progressions, stunning musicianship and charming vocal performances, ‘More than you can see‘ is a single that sets Mark Neal as an artist who is on the rise."

Myself @trustthedoc.bsky.social and my Trust The Doc Media partner-in-crime #SherrySahayaraj have written a very extensive but hopefully helpful article about the services on offer to independent artists & a whole lot more. Published right now on #FreshOnTheNet

It's been a bit of a stress running the Edinburgh ceilidh club recently with venue problems at Summerhall but I'm delighted that it's now all sorted and we have a packed programme of events now on sale!!

I'll be performing songs from my album 'Cool Waters' with a full band on the 2nd March at the Tower in Helensburgh.
