HISTORY
Having been into dance music since the early nineties and a regular visitor to most of Cardiff's underground dance events such as Time Flies and The Hip'po Club, in 1995 Neil found himself on the opposite side of the turntables.
Neil started his DJing career co-promoting 'The Breakfast Club' and he progressed very quickly to playing at a many of Cardiff's leading underground venues including The Model Inn, Hippo Club & Emporium along with a residency at The Asylum Club in Ebbw Vale and a couple of guest appearances in Worcester, England.
Over the past three years Neil has been co-promoting a night called FunkyDory on Fridays and Saturdays each week at The Slug & Lettuce in Cardiff. FunkyDory recently won best pre-club event in the inaugural Welsh Dance Music Awards.
THE FUTURE
Neil is a regular guest at Wales' leading US house night - Lamerica @ The Emporium (Cardiff) along with his FunkyDory residency and to add to this has recently started a club tour to celebrate the 4th Birthday of his website (See below for more info about website).

Neil also recently played two events in Finland (Helsinki & Oulu) and has several dates lined up again next year.
