The Interview
NMN: What age were you when you first realized you had a love for playing the guitar?
Neil: I had an acoustic when I was 4,but didn’t start to play seriously until I was 13 when my parents bought me my first electric guitar!!
NMN: Which famous guitarists did you admire growing up?
Neil: I loved Marc Bolan[T.rex], Francis Rossi [Status Quo]
of course Jimi Hendrix, but my all time favourite was Ritchie Blackmore [Deep purple]
NMN: Which 3 songs do you enjoy playing the most, either personally or professionally?
Neil: I enjoy playing Come Undone [Robbie Williams] playing it was great, I play a big solo at the end!
In My Chair [Status quo] and Let Me Entertain you [RW] that’s amazing live.
NMN: You started to begin working with Robbie Williams in 2001, What is one of the most memorable
concerts you've done with him?
Neil: Its got to be Knebworth, we played there for 3 nights...
NMN: How does it feel going back into the studio to record with Robbie this time around?
Neil: Its great, we are all having a lot of fun.
NMN: You mentioned in your blog, on your website www.silvermusic.tv that you are finishing your own album, what type of music can fans expect to hear from your new album?
Neil: Its guitar driven, rock.. more fun lyrics than I normally write. There is a song on my MySpace website it’s called Drunken lullaby!
My last album under the name Dogwood [Toothpick's pillow] was a pain full process, this is much more light hearted.
I also have a project with Jerry and Chris from Robbie's band, that’s very retro late sixties early seventies, its called Supersize, its a three piece rock band and it's fun to play.
NMN: Which of your own songs in particular, lyrically
and artistically are you the most proud of ?
Neil: 'Every Day As It Comes' on the Dogwood album, it’s a very heartfelt lyric, not the most uplifting song to listen to, But I’m still proud of it.
Drunken Lullaby on the other hand is very tongue and cheek!
NMN: Finally, What advice would you give to aspiring guitarist?
Neil: This is always a hard question..its not easy, you seem to take one step foward and 10 steps back, an uphill struggle, but try to get in a band to gain experience..and if you’re good enough eventually, you’ll get noticed or make it with your band.
