1980's - 1990's

'EARLY YEARS'

SOON!

Neil began singing at an early age, inspired by his favourite group ABBA. He joined the school choir and in 1982 made his stage debut in the school's concert, where he was their first ever solo male singer. He performed 'I Write The Songs', 'Bermuda Triangle', and 'One Of Us' backed by the school orchestra.
In 1986 Neil won first place in a talent contest at Birmingham's Nightingale Club which led to a mini tour throughout Birmingham's clubs & pubs.
He released his first recordings on Cassette: 'Love Letters', 'Only You', 'As Good As New', and 'Is This Love?' and also got the chance to perform live alongside Hazell Dean who was enjoying chart success at that time.
In 1996 Neil landed a lead role in the musical 'Chess', a production by 'The Lowestoft Players' which was staged at the Marina Theatre in Lowestoft.
Neil played the part of Russian Chess champion Anatoly Sergievski in the musical, which was written by Bjorn Ulvaeus and Benny Andersson of ABBA fame.

They also appeared at Noel Edmonds Garden Party at Haydock Park in the UK's North-west, and released their first ever single 'the ep', which featured the popular song 'Never Never.
