Neil Bishop

Canadian guitarist and producer from Stephenville, Newfoundland. As one of the pioneers of Newfie Rock, Bishop worked his way through bands with his stunning guitar-work. In 1975, he joined forces with another rocker by the name of Claude Caines and together they formed T.N.T. (38). To record their songs they pooled their money and applied for a government grant to build a recording studio: Clode Sound Studios, in Stephenville; they also started a record company: Quay Records (2), which released legendary albums (the first Wonderful Grand Band, Emile Benoit, Gordon Quinton and Simini, to name a few.) It was the first independent record company and studio in Newfoundland.
