14/10/2010 - Feedback from last weeks gig at the Mandarin Oriental. 'It was a fantastic evening and could not have gone any better. Neil was wonderful and we were blown away by him ... thank you so much we were delighted with Neil and the whole event.' NICOLE APPLETON & LIAM GALLAGHER

Neil and his trio (Rick Laughlin, Mike Higgins and Matt Hobson) have just returned from a rather interesting job on the Balearic private island of Tago Mago. Click on the image to see the first page of the Hello! magazine article.

Neil has had a very busy spring completing six cruises and visiting 15 countries. Ashclouds and other natural disasters have made the travel difficult, but my perfomances have been really well received and as a result there are more to follow later in the year.

Just in, Neil will be joining the PRO during the summer of 2010 for gigs at The Castle - Wellingborough, Burnley Mechanics and Rothes Hall - Glenrothes, Isle of Wight and in Munich, Germany. See my Diary page for dates.

In the second week of January Neil and 'The Rat Pack's Back' guys head off the inaugural 2010 world cruise for SAGA aboard the elegant 'Ruby'. We will travel from Southampton to the Azores.

Saw the wonderful Gary Williams at Pizza on the Park last week. He performed two great sets of Christmas tunes with lots of audience interaction to get everyone in the Christmas spirit. He and I performed a duet together which was lovely as we don't get to sing together often enough. Click the poster for pictures.

Fancy a good Sunday lunch, a pint and live Jazz? Then look no further than the Park Hotel, Teddington or the Blue River Cafe at the Thames Riviera Hotel, Maidenhead. Admission is free (you can just sit and have a drink) and over the coming months Neil will be performing with different band lineups (musicians so far have included Chris Allard, Rob Rickenberg, Rick Laughlin and Akosh) a stripped down trio set featuring wonderful standards from Lional Hampton, Thelonious Monk, the Gershwins, Duke Ellington, Victor Young and many more! Have a look at my diary page to see when I'm performing. If I'm not on then go and check out one of the other artists taking part: Jimmy Cannon, Trudy Kerr, Sally Creedon, Laura Zakian, Brigitte Beraha, Sophie Smith and Kate Winter.

27/11/2009 - Swing on a Star at the Bloomsbury Theatre on the 21/11 was a huge sucess. A big thank you to all involved. I've added a few pictures in the Photos section (click the link at the top of the page). You can see all the celebrities involved and even Neil singing backing vocals for Michael Ball. Oh the joys of being a Ball-ette!!

Neil, The Rat Pack's Back and String Diva will be performing with Jonathan Pryce, Dame Judi Dench, Anna Friel, Alfred Molina and Michael Ball in a repeat of the hugely successful 'Swing on a Star' at the Bloomsbury Theatre on the 22nd November.

10/06/2009 - Following a recent performance in Excedeuil in France, I received the following e-mail: ' Anyway, I just wanted to say a BIG thank you, you were truly amazing on Saturday, it was just a shame that Nick and I didn't really get to speak to you, everything was so manic!!  So many of our guests have said how fantastic you were, you really were and we are so happy we chose you to perform on our wedding day!  Nick and I would love to come and see you sing again and maybe have a drink with you in the future so I hope we can keep in touch.
