 A long, long time ago - well before the wheel was invented - Neil started playing in gigging bands: first, a gentle outfit with Rob Hicks, Mal Goudie and Garry Goddard (don't think they ever had a band-name as such), followed by a quirky 3 piece jazz/rock outfit with Mal Goudie and Andy James on C3 Hammond called "Trident".  Getting more serious, Neil started playing bass in the Sydney northern beaches music scene with an acoustic band called Marastique (best known for recording the soundtrack to the surfing movie "Family Free"), moved to the city area to play some serious country-rock with The Rusty Dusty Brothers then played briefly with The Great Dividing Band before heading overseas on a "grand tour" of Europe.  

High points of this period included some recording for the ABC, weekend jams with members of Tully, Tamam Shud, Air Supply etc and playing a few gigs on bass with Tamam Shud while Peter B was having some RnR.  Shared the bill on occasion with: Tamam Shud, Richard Clapton, Foreday Riders, Split Enz, Don Burrows, Sun, Vella among others.  Ask Neil about the time Marastique was booked to support Frank Zappa at the Hordern Pavilliion on his 1973 tour :)


Moved to the South Coast and played with Louise Harnett in "Harnett's Chips" (better than it sounds) and in a bush band called "Stir The Possum".


Then there were 25 or so years of musical darkness ................. job, family, travel etc.


In 2005, Neil discovered GarageBand on his Mac and did a cover of a Marastique song which he posted at "MacJams".  130 original songs (and over 100 collaborations) later, Neil has become a fixture on MacJams, writing, playing, singing, recording and producing his own songs in his Pambula Beach "studio".  He enjoys  online collaborations with musicians from all over the world, one of which has resulted in a video - "Safe Hands".





Neil has released six CDs of his own music. 
Latest CD released January 2021:

With PBGB (which he joined in 2008), he plays bass, guitars, harmonica and sings (and has been known to add keyboard tracks at home), as well as doing the lion's share of recording and production of PBGB tunes in "The Shed".  

"Skwiddink" came and went - kinda fun while it lasted :)
