Music Communities
"I look back really fondly on all of the times I spent making music with people, and less fondly when I'd be making music by myself". Neil has been involved in many types of music groups from inspiring kindergarten children to conducting 800+ youths at the Royal Albert Hall. It doesn't matter to Neil if you know or don't know how to play an instrument, because there is always a role and a new beginning when you are a part of Neil's ensemble.
