Paul MacNeil was born in Barra Glen, Victoria County. His ancestors came to Cape Breton from the Isle of Barra in 1812. When Paul was growing up, his family took in boarders and very often they would share tunes with the children. Paul took informal lessons from some of these visitors and gained a great interest in playing the pipes. Although Paul was away for several years, he has returned home to Cape Breton to raise his family and to work on his Gaelic. He currently works for Aliant and lives in Castlebay with his wife Tracey, their five girls and Paul’s parents. Paul enjoys playing tunes around Cape Breton, making his own Gaelic songs for the enjoyment of his daughters and advocating for the Gaelic language and culture.
