Neil Brewer (born July 15, 1954) is a British 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 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]
