Neil

I don't know where or how I'd start introducing Neil. Mentioning that he's the drummer is the easy bit and then it just gets plain tricky after that. Needless to say, he's great at what he does (and you'd have to be to be to hold down some of the grooves on our tracks.

At times, disogranised, late and generally a bit of a mess (like the majority of drummers) - this particular specimen of the drummer species adds colour to the group's personality through his clownish antics and comedic (and usually offensive) behaviour. If you were to liken Subsource to the A-Team, Neil would clearly be Murdock and the rest of us fighting it out for BA's medallions.

I could tell you about the time he stacked his car (white Chav-like Nova) after a rehearsal or how after waiting about 3 months for his laptop to be fixed, he promptly decided to spill beer into it on its much-awaited return. I suspect however that there is a much better Neil story just around the corner awaiting to be published here.

Even though I don't really trust him where I can't see him, I'm definitely proud to have him at the back holding down those meaty beats.

Six hour car journey to the Carlisle gig tomorrow. We'll be put up at a hotel, which is a first for a Subsource gig. Been looking forward to The Brickyard for a while, should be a good crowd.
