Malcolm MacNeil

With deep family roots in Cape Breton traditional music, Malcolm MacNeil is steadily carving out a place in the local scene as a talented guitarist and fiddler. He began playing the fiddle at age five and picked up the guitar at thirteen, building a strong foundation in both instruments while trying his hand at others.

Malcolm has shared the stage with well-known artists including The Barra MacNeils and Heather Rankin. A recent graduate of the Jazz Studies program at St. Francis Xavier University (2024), he now spends his summers working in the School Department at the Gaelic College, staying closely connected to the music and culture that inspire him.
