Artist History Neil has wide ranging credits across the board as a performer and has even sung with top flight opera companies!! Worked as an actor and a dancer until he came to his senses and realised that a guitar and a song is much less hard work (he's got the dance moves if he ever needs them though!) Took a year off to study music and found he could stop writing songs. Newly formed band with first cd in the pipeline. Neil meanwhile also works with a new poetry collective of black poets(New October Poets check the website http://www.pixalize.com/nop.html) who are lighting up the west midlands and are definitely creating a buzz. They have just released a cd of hard hitting poetry and music. Neil teaches singing and drama off and on.
