Hopefully just the beginning for... End of Neil

End Of Neil is the “stage-name” of er... a guy named Neil.  A mainly acoustic based singer-songwriter who specialises in lovingly created songs and performances. Why not have a little listen to his sound-cloud to get a feel for what we mean, and what’s about to be discussed – that way there’s no awkward moments and nobodies time is wasted. If you don’t like it, then you don’t have to read on etcetc...

This ^^^ is Neil by the way

We aren’t massive fans of musical agendas or artist aims in general, especially if it is the artist themselves writing them. End Of Neil is classic example and has fallen into this, what we like to call, ‘trap’:

“For me, singing is about spontaneous performance where the emotion, fear, energy and creativity of the moment and channelled, so when you see End of Neil performing, I am doing it just that once, for you.

My manifesto is 'change the way you think about your life.'”

SAD FACE :(

This musical avant-garde-esque explanation appears to only reside on the sound-cloud page though so just try and ignore it readers, thanks. ANYWAY back to the music, there’s a lot of tracks to get your ears round which is both good and bad depending on what mood you’re in; their all good for the most part though so don’t worry you’ll be fine. (The bottom playlist is the best one by the way) And, if you can excuse us for a moment whilst we get all musically pretentious – the tunes sound at their best when listened to through headphones plugged into your PC/LAPTOP/MAC/AMSTRAD device. Listening this way ensures you hear all the layers and parts that might be missed if you weren’t hearing it in a sort of ‘closed environment’. PRETENTIOUS TIP-TIME OVER.

Our current favourites are High Day, The Most Beautiful Thing in the World and Nobody Down at the Beach No More. End of Neil will more than likely sit well with fans of The Beta Band, Badly Drawn Boy, Pavement and Gomez. Looking at that lovely wee list, you can’t argue with those comparisons really can you? Plus, he's local! One can only hope that a future End of Neil EP ends up in a similar record shop sale situation to this...

End of Neil isn’t on Facebook pages yet, but does have Twitter, YouTube, Sound-cloud and Word-press. The Word-press blog actually includes posts on particular songs inspirations and is an interesting read for both fellow songwriters and nosy music bloggers such as us. Do support and give him a listen, you won't be disappointed!
