About Me

Word up, shizzle my nizzle and other such greetings all the cool kids use these days. Im Neil Blandford, which im guessing most of ya'll know. Im currently residing in the delighful little town of Alton, doing a part time job in a cafe and teaching the drums at home. I also help run Impact Youth Club at the Alton Maltings Centre and run the band nights on a Friday night (if you're a band from round here and want to play give me a shout). If not in Alton, then I'm most likely to be in Coventry/Birmingham playing drums with my band "What About Cube?" (follow the link to the left to check us out). My main love in life is music and have been playing drums and trumpet for about 10 years now. I spent two years studying jazz music in Birmingham, but my love for all things heavy and riff laden meant the two of us didnt really get on, so I gave that up. Anyway, enjoy my space. Catch ya'll later.
