Findlay Napier and the Bar Room Mountaineers began playing together in October 2007. The project was inspired by a song, The Bar Room Mountaineers, that Findlay had learned from Scots singer Geordie MacIntryre while studying Traditional Music at the RSAMD in Glasgow. The story goes that with his former band Back of the Moon splitting up he needed a new project. Whilst running on Tinto Hill in South Lanarkshire he was caught in a rainstorm.

  • Findlay Napier and the Bar Room Mountaineers began playing together in October 2007. The project was inspired by a song, The Bar Room Mountaineers, that Findlay had learned from Scots singer Geordie MacIntryre while studying Traditional Music at the RSAMD in Glasgow. The story goes that with his former band Back of the Moon splitting up he needed a new project. Whilst running on Tinto Hill in South Lanarkshire he was caught in a rainstorm. Wearing nothing but shorts, T-Shirt and running shoes he bemoaned the fact that his fellow musicians were warm in Wiston Lodge below doing a bit of Bar Room Mountaineering he thought. At that moment the Bar Room Mountaineers were born. Gillian Frame, Douglas Millar and Paul Jennings had worked with Napier before on many projects including Back of the Moon and Queen Anne’s Revenge and were his first choice for band members. Angus Lyon was drafted in to produce the bands demo and later their debut album Out All Night. By sheer coincedence the album was recorded in Lyon’s studio “Grans House” at the foot of Tinto Hill. In 2003 Napier had begun working with producer and recording engineer Nick Turner as a song writing partnership. They had already produced two albums with their project under the title Queen Anne’s Revenge. None of the songs had been played live so it seemed only sensible for Napier to mine this rich seem of songs. The band’s debut album, Out All Night was launched at Cambridge Folk Festival in 2008.
