Neil Brewer

Neil Brewer (born 15 July 1954) is an English musician, who is best known for being a member of the 1970s rock band Druid and for presenting the last four series of Rosie and Jim.^[1][2] Brewer played the role of a musical narrowboat owner, who while floating along the rivers and canals, would make up songs based on the experiences he had. He was nicknamed "Tootle" by the series' title characters.^[3][4] He sang a song at the end of each episode, accompanying himself on the concertina, and sometimes played the harmonica during episodes while seeking inspiration.^{[citation needed]}

Following the deaths of Pat Hutchins in 2017, and original presenter John Cunliffe in 2018, he is the only surviving presenter of Rosie and Jim.^{[citation needed]}

Neil also played bass guitar in The Never Never Band and Splash during the 1970s and 1980s after the demise of Druid.^[5]
