A Brief History

Castlebay was started in 1987 when Julia Lane and Mark McNeil, who were performing as the duo BARRA, joined forces with Fred Gosbee and Brian Chadbourne, who had been performing together since 1980. As a quartette, Castlebay performed at festivals and concert series throughout New England, upstate New York, and the Washington, DC, area. Before Brian left in 1989 to follow other pursuits, the band recorded an eponymous LP and three other albums.

Castlebay toured as a trio until 1993 and released three more projects. Mark stopped touring in 1993 but helped with the 1996 CD, "Run Before the Wind".
