More songs? Oh, go on then:
A few people have recently asked me if I write my own songs, perhaps envisioning an army of good-spirited elves who fetter through the wee small hours of the night and leave lyrics and chord sheets at the foot of my bed for me to find when I wake and claim as my own.
Of course I write it all... and I play it and record it all to boot! You didn’t think I was just a pretty face did you?
What’s that? You never thought I was a pretty face? Oh, I see.
Multi-instrumentalist and songsmith Neil Thomas is based in London. He doesn’t have a favourite colour, as to him it is "a matter of context" (Blue skies = pleasant weather. Blue lips = hypothermia). Now that you know a little about him, here are some pictures:

REVIEWS:
"Neil Thomas, whom I had not heard before, was a real treat. Lovely voice, technically strong, and he appeared not to be an egomaniac, unlike many people who choose to be onstage often are... Neil was my highlight of the show."
(Review of Herbert at the Montreux Jazz festival, Switzerland, on the fly.co.uk website)
"Vocalist Neil Thomas... sang with little movement but deep emotion... and when he smiled had something of a cheeky Martin Freeman about him. So impassioned were some of his vocals, albeit with subtle delivery, that Herbert’s bobbing and weaving beats retired to the middle ground..."
(Review of Herbert at Koko, London, on the musicomh.com website)
P.S. Neil’s imaginary friend Gargamel also makes very good music, of a slightly less "serious face" nature:
