About Me

"You got a dream, you gotta go get it. People can't do something themselves they're gonna tell you you can't do it".
The Neil Cowlan Band is the result of many years of playing live for various people whilst quietly going about writing my own material in the background. We play a mix of funk, blues, soul and pop. New biog coming later!
