Favourite Eye Color: Not fussy really...
Favourite Hair Color: Brunette.
Short or Long Hair: Long, and a little bit curly is great... :-P

Best Clothing Style: As long as they take a bit of pride in their appearance and don't dress like a complete tart then I'm not too bothered!!

Good day!! My name's Neil and I live in sunny old South East England. I have a BA(Hons) degree in Contemporary Popular Music Performance from the Academy Of Contemporary Music in Guildford, Surrey, where I had the privilege of studying under the supervision of some of the planet's most incredible guitar players (Dave Kilminster, Guthrie Govan, Pete Callard, etc.). I'm a guitar wielding human male, currently lacking any official full-time employment, and am as such pimping out my guitarophone services to anyone who will pay what I charge. Or anyone who looks nice. Or both. I am, however, a part of the Guitar Faculty at the Southern Music Academy (www.southernmusicacademy.co.uk), and in addition I offer private one-on-one lessons - feel free to get in touch if you're interested!!!
On top of teaching, I do the odd live thing here and there for various things. I've played at a variety of weddings, conferences, dinner parties, etc., as well as countless other gigs with various bands/artists, including my own. Over the years I've been lucky enough to play at some awesome venues, such as the Birmingham N.E.C. and the Royal Albert Hall!! If you want to book me for anything like that, then feel free to get in touch!! Right then, that's the business bit out of the way...
When I'm not playing/teaching the guitar I'm usually either eating, sleeping, drinking, playing on my XBox (FIFA '07, baby!!!) or at my fiancée's house, where I usually tend to be doing one or two of the above anyway; albeit in the company of a much prettier face than my own!!! We're getting married next April. Yay!!!
If you happen to see me in the pub and you're a generous soul, then I'll have a pint of Kronenbourg please!
Feel free to add me to your MSN, too: [email protected] is the address!!
I overuse exclamation marks!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
