Im gonna release my album early next year.. i dont know how or when exactly,but if i dont do it soon i wont do it at all..think i have all the songs.. i can keep going for another year or two, but the oldest ones wont sound as good to me.. so i will just keep chasing my tail!!

Hi everyone..i know it has once again been a long time..i need to update more often..but its hard sometimes..any way..GOOD NEWS..album
Will be out early next year..decided not to rush it. .i know its only been 18 months in the making!!..ive had my ups and many downs..but i'm excited about it coming out..thats when the hard work starts..im sure that's been at the back of my mind too..Just got back from Hannover...or is it Hangover!!seem to be spending more time in germany lately...i do like it there...i should start mixing some of the tracks in the next month or so........i love the way its turning out though..at the beginning i was going to do mostly instrumental
tracks..but as time went on it became a very contemporary album..Steve Torch [BFA]who i've written this album with has been an immense help..i get really bogged down in the lyric side..and him writing the lyrics has taken a huge weight off my shoulders .I hope to bring more news soon!

I know ..i know its been a while...i can tell by the lack of hits i've had! its so difficult to keep updating a blog,when there is not much going on...i do have a good excuse.ive been in london,there hasn't been much time at all.

Please don't all cry at once but..im away for 2 weeks from thursday..going on holiday to spain..i hope you can cope with this..i do realise its gonna be difficult,but please hang on in there.

So getting back to not a lot going on,I've completed another song for my album...its called 'Blood from a stone' it's a bluesy track..dont know how that came about!!There are a few reasons why the album is taking so long...excuse 1...ooh i've been away a lot excuse 2...well i was ill for 2 weeks excuse 3...been down the pub for a few months...yes but its been a year and a half since you started it..i can hear you say!lets just say I've had writers block for almost the same amount of time!it will be like a fine wine..that's if i ain't drunk it!!

I will be doing a video next month for Don't drive my car' so its imminent!!
Please don't miss me too much..that wont be hard as this is the first blog in about 6 months! i will be back,with a tan!which reminds me i must take my writers block with me....oh i mean sun block!!i just read this blog and i've come to the conclusion..i ain't that funny anymore


Love, Neil

Bloody Mary!

I can see i ain't been on here much....the amount of visits has dropped very significantly!! i've only got myself to blame..i know,but i do have a good reason.

I've been away in london working for the past 2 weeks..and it wasn't on my album..it was for someone else's..now i'm back i have more time to finish everything I've been saying i would!!so i'm nearly there with my album...its just finding the time..either work or family commitments ..I thought..great i will have a whole week next week..but the kids are off for a week!!so another week goes by!!i'm just having a bloody mary..i think its a great way forward..2 supplements in one.. vodka and the tomato juice which counts as a food intake.

i will be updating this in the near future..once again i apologise for neglecting it!

I know its been a long time...its hard keeping these blog's up when you have nothing to say ....this time i do have a few things to say..i think im over the worst of my lack of inspiration and boredom...back into getting my album "DRUNKEN LULLABY' finished.... I've been recording it on and off for over a year now..i use to say about 'Tears For Fears' taking along time over an album!ha ha.I was meaning to do more of a guitarists album..but its turned out to be more about the songs,i suppose i've been trying to find myself..well find a new sound...find myself? i don't believe i just wrote that. ...sorry i started to go up my own ass there for a sentence..anyway its nearly finished ..its quirkey..rocky..happy,the complete opposite of the 'DOGWOOD' album..only 17 of you will know what I'm on about there...there's still 5 albums left don't all rush at once will you! For the guitar fans out there the 'BULLETS FOR ANGELS' album should be up your street I'm very happy with the guitars and solos on it...you can buy it here..so go give it a listen PLEASE?For those that are remotely interested in "DRUNKEN LULLABY' don't forget to sign up here..so i can let you know when its out..it should be within the next couple of years.....oh i mean months.

I'm playing with the 'PRIVATE DICKS' in at ' Wild at Heart' Berlin [details below] they are my old mates from Bristol..they are a power pop band from the 70's..im looking forward to it..so if you fancy coming along and say "Hi" .... please do!

I know its been a while...i've neglected my site..im sorry..its sometimes difficult to update every week or two..but within the next few weeks [oh yeah whatever] its gonna be updated..new home page!! also i will try to dig out some more video clips and some more things..which i don't have a clue what i'm talking about ...but some more things anyway. Another sorry for the delay with my album "DRUNKEN LULLABY" there has been a few distractions of late..i was asked to to an library album [music for tv,adds etc]been working on another project with Jerry Meehan in Cologne...so now i'm gonna finish the bloody album once and for all..its so close about 2 months before its out!!i know i said sometime january..now its sometime april...or before! There are only FOUR ORIGINAL DOGWOOD ALBUMS left... after they go there are no more.. I've sold 16 so far so make it please make it 20!!


The BULLETS FOR ANGELS album is on sale now on my home page,you can check it out before you buy it!or go to .............. and have a look around. This must be the most unfunny blog I've done so far..nothing much else to add...oh i've stopped biting my nails for four days..they don't look any different though..maybe they wont grow anymore..not much else to give up after this addiction...but i ain't giving those up!!

Love, Silver xx


Posted By: Neil: 16th Jan 2008

Now we can all go back to normal...nothing new has happened since the last blog..thats because xmas got in the way...im about to apologise for apologising again there are a few [i mean a few] of you who have been asking about my album Drunken lullaby..when's it out..so i've decided to do something about it...actually i've had a bit of recording work come in so that's why its taking so long...any way...im gonna start mixing it next week! that will take a while ..but i'm hoping it will be out early march..its not as tortured and twisted as i expected it..that's what comes with being content and being 47 on january 26th!! its much more contemporary...is that another word for boring? don't think i'd make a good salesman somehow...

BULLETS FOR ANGELS album...we have had a load more made..for all those people that said they would get it in january....well guess what...its january...isnt it some ones birthday this month? so please please please..go and check it out if you haven't already because it will be funding the mixing of my album...so the quicker BFA sells......

lots of love

Its almost a year ago we finished the tour in OZ..the last show was Melbourne...i may be wrong....anyway im still missing it as much now as i did then!roll on the next one. The BFA out takes video was a bit of a hit. ....i keep watching it myself and i keep laughing..it gets funnier the more you watch it..i think its the best video i've ever been involved in...or is it the most i've laughed in....anyway its better than watching the proper version of the song..music is about fun....well not much music there just fun...we couldnt even finish the first verse!!if there are any of you that havent watched it..please do..NOW...no not in a minute....its here or go to www.myspace.com/bulletsforangels its on the profile page titled .. The funny out takes..while you're there or here..why not buy a copy of the BFA album..its doing better than my Dogwood album...thats for sure...its already gone wood!!talking of albums...my album Drunken lullaby is edging closer to being finished..i've had quite a few distractions of late and lack of motivation..but its come flowing back now....or is that the wine? if you want news of when its released sign up here... im sorry i dont have time to finish it this year.. what with xmas around the corner..anyway there is another interesting project that Jerry and i are involved in...jerry there's a name from the past...i will tell you more about that next year...this is the longest and the most boring blog so far..

happy xmas,

lots of love silver xxxxx


Posted By: Neil: 21st November 2007

The BFA album...Its finally out...i can't believe it...i'm sure you cant ethier? Go and check the album out see if you like it.....it's very different to my solo albumm, which will be out early next year... but can you please tell me all your thoughts on the BFA album?

Listen and buy CD here:

www.bulletsforangels.co.uk

BFA CD - click here to listen and buy

I do reply to emails..it may take a while but i will.I'm not singing on this album.. Steve Torch is, he's a very well known songwriter who has worked with many big artist.. such as Cher, Hall and Oates...oh just go to the BFA site, it tells you all you need to know there..Torchy's voice reminds me of Ian Hunter from Mott the Hoople? Does anyone remember them? They were a great band...well as for me.. i'm just the guitar player, but please go and check it out..its not to everyone's
taste... but it rocks in a rocky kinda way!! What? I really enjoyed making this album.. we did our bits seperately which was the best way .. no pain involved..not having to converse with each other..and not having to listen to each other!! That can get very boring sometimes. I hope you dont feel the same way though....just joking!

love Silver xx


Posted By: Neil: 9th November 2007

Good morning!

5am here! well nothing new...went to France...back now, i had a good time thanx. BFA album is out next week...i know i said 2 weeks a month ago..but this time its for real..i swear! I will let you all know with another fantastic blog as usual. I've hit a brick wall with my album ..writers block as they say in the industry..no motivation ..NO DRINK ..not that its a problem ...the no drinking i mean ...i don't miss it at all, not one little bit ,in fact i have hardly thought about it ...im not even thinking about it now ...no, it don't bother me in the slightest ....so i'm coming clean ..the album"Drunken Lullaby' will not be out untill sometime January,the month of my birthday ..so don't forget. I ,m nearly there with it,but i don't want to rush it ...it's only be a year in the making!!! I must say once again thanx for waiting so long for it ...god i hope its worth it !

Love, Silver x


Posted By: Neil: 29th October 2007

I know it's been a while...just thought i'd get you all to fever
pitch,i know how much everyone enjoys reading my blogs...full of wit [wit don't look right..um or is it?] irony and sarcasm.

The real reason its been a while is..well i haven't been arrested lately...i haven't been drunk [that's when i normally write blog's,so sorry if this one gets boring]i haven't been to Tesco's..no haircut...but i have been working on my album ...i've had more than 10 emails about buying "drunken lullaby' 11 to be precise so i'm very happy ..at this rate i could go wood [20 is wood] just finished a track called "heavygrinder" torchy wrote the lyric,he has been helping me all the way through the album he's a great writer.

Talking of torchy our project...the BFA album http://www.myspace.com/bulletsforangels has arrived so soon as its gone to where it needs to go to buy it online we will let you know. If any of you feel the urge to get these albums you can sign up here to get an email of release dates etc...i will put more vids up in the next day or so...honest..the next blog i will be drunk to make it more interesting i promise!

lots of love

silver xx


Posted By: Neil: 16th September 2007

Sorry its been a while..i seem to have been really busy.. there
seems to be only 2 hours in a day at the mo!

The BFA album is available in 2 to 3 weeks ..why not go have a chat
with Torchy [Steve Torch] at:

www.myspace.com/bulletsforangels

he likes a good chat! he's addicted to MySpace now. There's still the
free download of 'She comes over me'. If any of you are still interested!
I've been away for a while, but i start work on my album at the end of this week ..still hope to have it out December ..maybe that's even being a bit optimistic now ..but i will endeavour to.

OK...the main reason i writing this blog is to let you know that Supersize is no longer ...i am aware that some sites have ran competitions and have winners waiting for an album, please get in touch with me and i will sort something else out! i'm very sorry, but it just ran its course ...it got so idle sat around doing nothing, it just got too big to move! we are all on great terms with each other, so no worries there ..i wish i could say it was all down to musical differences or we had too many fights, but it was actually the opposite ..we are very sorry about it ...but hey ...you have an album coming out by ME ...you know what they say ..."as one door closes" ... etc......so think your selves lucky ..not all is lost..or is it?

There are some new vids going up here in the next day, so come back, don't be strangers ...thanx for all the emails of support in the past year ..they really have helped me to contemplate doing an album, so you ain 't getting rid of me now!! i'm here to stay ...please keep in touch!and i promise to write more blogs ....i may even post them!

love silver xxx


Posted By: Neil: 25th September 2007

Hi every one!  Sorry its been a while...i start with that phrase every time don't i? do you know.. .i can't even begin to think what i've been up to lately... Oh been working on my album.. its shaping up real good .... .i would say that i suppose, but its gone in an interesting direction. Some of you have listened to the track here and the one on MySpace...thanx for all your feedback and your support.

BFA MySpace is up and running!

Steve is running it! i think he's starting to get around it now! Also there's a free track, it's my favourite BFA track from the album 'From Silver to Blue' song title.. 'She comes over me' - so grab it while you can, i think its there for a limited amount of time. The album should be out within the month..."yeh right!" i hear you say! why? did i say that on my last blog? anyway,i will keep you posted!

It's funny when i do emails,i'm always thinking of how not to
write as little as possible...save time!! it's the complete opposite
doing a blog, i'm always thinking...how do i make that sentence longer!!
can i make more of it..fill it out a bit..

There will be more videos here soon..

Lots of love, Silver xxx


Posted By: Neil: 29th August from the UK

Hi everyone...i look forward to getting down to finishing my album next week... it's been difficult with the kids home. There are 4 new videos that Gary kindly gave me for here .. ..so check them out ....these are really funny ones.

The more i listen to Gary's album the more i loathe it!! it's so good, he's a great songwriter..bastard! Click here. ' Good Effect' is my favorite track, we may do a few little shows together at some point, anyone interested?

It's so hard to write blogs when nothing's being going on .. just like writing lyrics really ..walking through mud!! thats what it feels like, i will be getting back to you when i've more to say...at this rate it will be in about 6 months time...the next time i get arrested ...maybe before then!

Love,

Silver x

Hi there..

back from Nice, France, had a great time,recording went well.
I was working with Simon Climie from Climie /Fisher any one remember them?
Simon writes a lot for other artists and has lovely place in Nice.

My album is picking up pace ...done another one so 7 songs
finished now ..at this rate it could be out for xmas!!maybe that's being a bit too optimistic.

No other news i'm afraid .. Supersize is too slow for its own
good ... Jerry is on holiday, he's back soon so we are going to make a concerted effort to finish it. Off to Germany end of september to mix it ...so we better finish it.

BFA out soon .. art work done and mastered, another 2
weeks ..something positive at long last!

Gary kindly gave me some new video clips ..so check them out ...very funny.

Sorry not much else to say ... god im bored at the mo.... Anyone need a guitar player?

Love, Silver


Posted By: Neil: 2nd August from the UK

OK ...it's time to come clean, some of you may already know...i was ARRESTED for CHARITY!! .... in aid of my local hospital the RUH in Bath, for the premature babies ward at the Princess Anne Wing ......

I was arrested by two police officers - SEE PICS - at 10.20 am on the 19th July from my house, where handcuffs were put on (they really do hurt) i was read my rights and told of my offence which was ....being tone deaf!! ...they froG marched me through the town i live in...telling bystanders... "please move out of the way,we have a very daNgerous criminal here!!"



www.foreverfriendsappeal.co.uk

... i must say some old ladies loOked very disgusted with
me. I was thAn taking to one of the many local pub (that's the reason i got involved in the friSt place) where we had to stay until we could raise enough bail money...as you all seem to know me quite wEll, you can guesseS they had to drag me oWt eventually where we were taken to an old lock up (a prison) where we had Fotos for the press, then released with a waring... never to sing,play guitar again and To dye
my silver FRocks!! ... As you can imagiN.. i am now back in the same pubs awaiting baLe!!

There's not a great deal of news at the moment ...oh i'm off to 'Nice' next week to work with Simon Climie from Climie/Fisher..an old friend, i haven't seen him since i played on their album,wow must be late 80's!

Before i went away to spain i was arrested ... it wasn't the proudest moment in my life, but it's something you all need to know ..pictures can be found here .... 'Jail & Bail' .. i would like to say sorry to my family for this unfortunate incident and the pain it caused!

Love a white as ever.... Neil xx


Posted By: Neil: 21st of July from the UK

Posted By: Neil: 13th of June from the UK

Hi everyone

...its been a while...well about a week actually,so it wasn't that long,trying to store things up of interest to blog about,but there's nothing to say...i apologise.....

There are now more new video clips from the tour up and running here, there are some very funny ones too...you tend to forget as time slips by what a great time we had!

My solo album [Drunken lullaby] is slowly getting there...at a
snails pace i would say, i have had a lot of other things i just
couldn't put off, so another apology for that, i hope you can all wait a few more months!! I know some of you have had sleepless nights about it,tossing and turning thinking when is he gonna finish 'Drunken Lullaby'...all i can say it will be ready...at some point...soon...the end of autumn...maybe.

Some of you [2 of you] have asked me to answer questions, you can ask me anything, i may not answer it but you can try ,just post them here.

I would like to know your thoughts on the song Drunken
Lullaby...so email me about that too .I will be putting some more songs up here soon, i haven't done it so far because you can get too much of a good thing sometimes..cant you? I'm signing off, im just rambling on now.


Posted By: Neil: 26th of June from the UK

A big SUPERSIZE hello to everyone. Talking of Supersize iit's getting bigger by the minute, all that sitting around is doing it no good what so ever! We've been trying to get together for a while now and sort it out once and for all.... it would be nice to say its due to musical differences, but unfortunately that's not the case! it's because i've been very busy as you can see... God it looks like i could do with a really good shave, i can't believe how much i've aged in since the tour...it was only 6 months ago!! maybe i should drink out of a smaller glass?

I had an email saying that i should spend my time here..not on MySpace, what i will say is this...This website is my baby..i spent a lot of time, effort and money getting it to where it's at, i admit i must keep it up to date, but there is quite a few things for every one to hear and look at! BUT i will be updating it soon with new video clips..more blogs..etc..anyway point taken!!

Wow his is the most serious blog i've ever done...sorry about that!

Bullets For Angels album release very soon www.garynuttall.com  it's a great album, please check it out, he's a real talent! (bastard!)

Not going to mention my album, apart from you all probably know that it's out sometime in the Autumn..and i keep saying Autumn..but thats the time i am working towards.....i'm glad i did'nt mention my album.

Love, Silver xx

ps - the guy with the glass in not REALLY me ! (but sometimes i wish it was! )


Posted By: Neil: 11th of June from the UK

Hello once again!!

back from Brussels..had a great time,we had a few
meetings for Supersize which went well,did some writing and
recording.. hich was worth it just for that.Also did some writing for
an artist while we were there,which turned out really good..i will let you know more about this in future blogs. I'm going to endeavor to finish some more songs on my solo stuff over the next few weeks, i really want to get it finished, its starting to annoy me now,i need to get my head down..there are always
so many distractions being at home etc,its been nice not having access to the internet for 4 days [self induced].

Thanx to everyone that have put their pictures up, keep um
coming it makes the site more interesting for everyone as i'm drained of ideas,once you have a site you gotta keep reinventing it! That's the hard part oh and the blogs..trying to make the interesting..you all yawning yet? thought so!

Love Neil xx


Posted By: Neil: 31st May from the UK

A quick add to the last blog below - we now have a Fans Gallery page, so please send me your pictures - click here

Well what can i say?....Jerry and i are off to Brussels next week for some meetings regarding SUPERSIZE ...

It's so nice to see a few of you signing up for news of Supersize, my new album and BFA stuff. For those of you that have not....Get signing, you will only get an occasional email update and thats it, there are no other obligations! That's if you are the slightest little bit interested of course!

My daughter Mollie and my girlfriend Sachi have just said to me..."What's the point in me writing a blog because all i ever do is get stressed and moan", and they may have a point, but if they did'nt stress me then i would'nt moan!!   So there !

Time for a drink i think!!

Love Neil x


Posted By: Neil: 25th May from the UK

Hi again, Just a quick blog this time....

There seems to be a slight bit of confusion regarding The Supersize project and my solo stuff.. more below.... The song that was on myspace (drunken lullaby) is my solo project,which is now been moved to the juke box on this site! I hope it's a bit clearer sorry everyone. Also we are starting a fan photo gallery so if anyone has any from the tour etc,please post them here at... with the date, place and your name,thats if you know all 3.

NEW VIDEO clips have been posted here!

Love, Taylor xx


Posted By: Neil: 14th May from the UK

Some of you may know the band formally known as CHURCH'S new name.. or those of you don't it is:

SUPERSIZE

Blog continues below .....

The name of he album is....HARD TO SWALLOW....i know, some of us never grow up!! Click here to see more - the web site is not finished yet !

Well that only took about a year to decide. The songs have been much easier to write than finding the name...I thought it was supposed to be the other way around. We hope to have something out later on in the year.

Some of you took advantage of the free download.. 'Drive that Thing' ...i think that was the track anyway, it gives you an idea of what's to come.

Still writing and recording...oh and i promose i will get around to more video clips from the tour in the next few days.

After LA the UK is too real to life....being a musician is all about escaping reality....dont know why i added that.just trying to make this blog up a bit!

Until next time!!

Love Taylor xx


Posted By: Neil: 14th May from the UK

Just got back from LA, it's 3am, can't sleep, then i thought why not post a blog.

LA vale played on Saturday evening they won 7-0, we
went along to watch, they scored 3 goals in the first 10 mins! Rob played for a while..

...i never thought in a million years i would be writing about football! Maybe i should become a sports journalist ?

I've been trying to finish my album, it's about half done, so i'm getting there slowly. There will be a free download of one of the tracks soon, so keep an eye out.

Does anyone know the new name for Church yet? I need to
know if the cat's out the bag yet, i dont want to be burdened with this heavy secret any longer! So please let me know.

Love Taylor x


Posted By: Neil: 7th May from Los Angeles

Good morning from an overcast LA! Friday evening we went to see Rob's football team LA Vale... ... i don't watch much football but i have to say it was good, Rob didn't play, but was on the sideline shouting his support! they won!!

Yesterday we took a drive down sunset to Malibu where we stopped in a place over looking the ocean called 'Moonshadow' and had lunch and a beer!
The recording is going very well, i forgot what a good feeling it is to play, i feel very inspired at the moment i really want to get on and finish my own album now!

Love ,

Neil


Posted By: Neil: 1st and 2nd of May from Los Angeles

Hello from LA!!

flew in last night! it's 12pm here ..i've just woke up but everyone else has just gone to bed! Doing some recording here over the next few weeks..looking forward to it.

May 2nd ...Doing a bit bit better this morning,woke at 2am! Started recording with Rob yesterday! I am really enjoying it, its a lot of fun, Rob looks great.

Has anyone seen the new video clips? i will upload some more soon,i still have quite a few from the tour.

The "lets call it Church for now" project is going really well,we will release the new name soon. I can't believe we actually agreed on it ....that's a big step forward in itself.

There has been a few of you downloading the BFA album ..i would love your thoughts on it, i think its a bit different. This will be a CD at some point in the near future ,its going to be an EP instead of a full blown album. The Dogwood album has sold another THREE copies!which i'm thrilled about,there are still some original copies left...well i think its good.

I will keep you posted over the next two weeks!

Love Taylor xx



Posted By: Neil: 25th April 2007

Hello once again!

There are some new video clips up now from Argentina!
Some more amusing bits to be going on with.

The new name for CHURCH will be announced soon (yes, we've finally agreed on the name for band and album! Exciting stuff.... We are moving foward with this project now, believe
or not.These things take a while sometimes,then everything starts falling into place. Watch this space.

Still busy with my own album.More lazy than busy really,finding it hard to get motivated, everything feels flat at the moment......Wow, hold on!! This is not the same Neil talking? You are supposed to be funny in your blogs...Sorry but today i can't...Not in the mood. JUST JOKING! !it made up the blog a little though,did'nt it?

Love Taylor xx

hello once again!

It's been a while i know,i've been busy doing what i do
best! so im stopping it for a few minutes while i write this blog, so i apologise if its too short for you!

So if anyone is still interested in the Dogwood album..there are only a few of the original cd's still left,so get and order it if you want a real piece of rock history [just a joke].

We have a new name for the CHURCH project! yes i know...i can hear you all yawn,it is getting slightly boring now..some of you took up the offer of the free download... ' Drive that Thing' ..its going to be on offer until the 25th April, so join up if you already havent done so.

Thanx to you all coming back again and again..i may even give away one of my tracks...well no ones gonna buy it! Also i promise there will be more clips next week,

ok thats it....im going back to the pub now.

What's my favourite drink??

Cheers,
Love

Taylor xx

Hi there,

To those of you that have subscribed to 'Friends of Silver Music' ...i hope you all got the free CHURCH track?
' DRIVE THAT THING'

It is still not too late for those
that have not got the free track to sign up here to 'Friends of Silver Music.

....don' t leave it too long because the free track is going to be available or a limited period!! ... its your chance to hear Jerry sing - that's got to be worth it alone, he 's good too.There will be further free downloads from BFA and myself in the near future.

There are new video clips up and running from the tour, a lot of new ones to follow in the next week or so.

Love, Taylor, X

Sorry that i've been very lazy with the blog writing, but you have to have something to say. As far as my album goes, i've been busy recording,which i must say has been great fun, the title track has turned out great, but then you start to look back and want to make everything else as good, that's why its taking so long! fingers crossed it will be out early summer.. Thanx to those of you who reviewed the DOGWOOD album, still need a few more!

CHURCH... what about CHURCH? nothing that's what!!
We are in recording again next week, i will post some video clips of us in the studio! WHY? you may ask..its just for my ego i suppose.

Love,
Taylor x

There are now more than ten people who have bought the DOGWOOD album..i'm ecstatic !..i only have 200 copies left so you better get in quick before the rush, seriously i would love you all to check it out, im very happy with it! Still need reviews though, i've only had two so far, i'm expecting the other eight of you to give me yours, i will put any reviews on my website good or bad so at least one of you give me a bad review, i won't be hurt. Bullets For Angels is putting finishing touch's to his new album! it will be out soon [but you didnt hear it from me] he has some very funny video clips on his website, i'm sure a lot of you have checked it out. Has any one listened to the BFA stuff yet? it's worth at least a listen ,you never know you may like it! 'OVER ME' is one of my favourites.

Ok well i better sign off and get cracking on my album,before the Nuttall gets his out first! Oh i almost forgot, there are more new video clips up and running...'Let it all flow'..is a snippet of a church track ,and another of us from stage in CHILE.

Love Taylor

Hello everyone, been in London again with Jerry working on the Church album..its picking up pace now,sounding really good! BFA has been finally uploaded so please have a listen to that, its very different to DOGWOOD, for one i am not singing....its a guy called Steve Torch,we don't get on that well....the feeling is mutual i am sure, but this has helped some of the tracks in a twisted kind of way, torchered artist? .. no we just don't like each other. New reviews of the Dogwood CD here.

Am i really rambling on? ... i think so! nyway when Jerry ,Chris and i finish the album, we still want to do some shows!
but still no closer to a name!

Some NEW VIDEO CLIPS have been uploaded,hope you like them. Argentina clips will be coming soon. Pondering on finishing the solo stuff, please let me know if any of you are interested as it will have an effect on me getting it finished, the more of you the better or maybe not....
I still can't bring myself to unpack suitcase after the tour..there is some kind of finality to it.

Love, Neil

Hello everyone,had a great week in london recording CHURCH! Yes its still just a working name. We have finished two more tracks, so its almost half the album done! We are all very excited about it.

Check out the new video clips of us in the studio, you can get a sneaky listen to a track on one of the clips, plus a short interview with Mr Orange shoes himself.

It seems so strange not touring, after so much excitement, then back living in the real world....it's hard to adjust.
Sorry i don't know where that came from ,it just popped into my head, i guess i'm really missing it.
The DOGWOOD album is picking up pace, sold another two copies to Marta and Jude! A big thank you to you both it took me two years to write and record and was such a painful process, lyrically, mentally and musically i put everything i had into it..im glad it paid off. I would love to hear from the seven of you who bought the Dogwood album! I will respond to anyone who emails me their thoughts on 'Toothpick's Pillow!
The way it's going... it could sale ten!! you never know

Love, Neil


Posted By: Neil: 8th February 2006 - From the UK

Now in London recording new tracks with Jerry for the group formally known as 'Church' ... more info about this on this Blog soon. Thanks for those 5, Yes 5 ! people who have bought the 'Dogwood' CD 'Toothpicks Pillow' - the CD has now gone 'Wood' ! I have sent another 5 copies off to CD Baby for you to buy if you feel the need to. I can't believe how many people love this album !

All my latest solo music will soon be availble on CD from this site ... so stay tuned.

I have put some more videos up and more videos will go up next week.

Love,

Neil.

Its sometimes difficult to know what to say...oh thanx to everyone for wishing me a happy birthday! i had a great time,doing what i do best!
For all you CHURCH goers, we are getting together next week to finish off the tracks...well not all of them.. but a few.

We have decided on a name...almost!
Its seems so hard to get the 3 of us in the same place these days, but trust me the wait will be worth it.

Ok in struggling now....Oh MR ORANGE SHOES says hi!!

Love, a very sober, taylor xx

Hello again,we got back from Berlin sunday evening,we had a great time, most of it was spent at Andy's diner and bar 'Potsdamer str 1' it was great food, Johnny enoyed the burgers. Just along from the Ritz Carlton was where Jerry bought his infamous ORANGE SHOES! ..i didnt think to go and get him another pair [what a shame]

Chris Coco came down to my place to record some guitars for his album which was good fun, I'm trying to finish my own album off, i will get there soon. The BFA album's almost finished!
The formally known as CHURCH album IS'NT!! .. but to those of you who are interested, Jerry, Chris and i are getting together the week after next to finish it...we hope to...

Thanx to everyone who sent me birthday greetings for
today .. yes today! some of you may know how old i am.. yes i am 148 years old today!!

If you look below you can see Johnny on top the TV cabinet in the hotel, pretending he's on stage! until security comes [Sachi] and gets him down!

Check out Gary's blog ...Neil xx

I'm so glad you all seem to enjoy the Real Tones [Silvertones] "Wanted on the phone" and "Doctor disco"seem to be most favourite! I will be getting a Jerry FART tone very soon [as seen on the video clips] i'm sure you will enjoy it! On to the music downloads "Chasing butterflies" and" When the shadows fall" are favourites too, it's great to see people downloading songs, that means a great deal to me...i was just about to go into a big description about both of these songs, why they are close to my heart,i will bore you with that another time...and i mean BORE you!!
In the meantime please keep enjoying the website [i will be adding more video clips soon]

love, Neil xx


Posted By: Neil: 15th January 2006 - From the UK

I've only had one glass of wine so far [do not want to get myself into any more trouble] ...we think we have decided on a new name for 'Church'... .. just got to check the name out a bit more on the internet to make sure,but it's looking good,we will let you know very soon [God, i hope its not taken].

Thanx for all of your feed back on my own album, i am going to finish it very soon and it will be a CD, it takes a while to do your own album, because you ponder over every little detail, i'm really trying not to go down that road this time, i will endeavour not to do so! honest!

I will be updating again next week, i'm off with my family to
Berlin for the weekend,i loved staying there, when we were on tour,it was a great hotel.

For all then Italians out there..i love Milan too, and we will be
going there for a weekend very soon!!

Love, Neil xx

My other project BULLETS FOR AN ANGEL [BFA] will be releasing an album through this web site in the next few months (you can here some tracks here end of next week) its very guitar driven..there's a suprise! ... its a collaboration with famous songwriter STEVE TORCH (he is the singer) please give it a listen because i'm really pleased with this project.

Happy Xmas everyone!

Still sad its over for a while,spoke to most of the guys,they feel the same.

Hope you all are enjoying Bullets For Angels's site, it was a long time coming,but Gaz never rushes into things,very slow actually,he likes to ponder!

any way best of luck Gaz....

I'm not going to mention Jerry in this blog, bollox! its too late! hello again Delia [his mum].

The CHURCH saga continues...yes you are right ..still can't decide on a name,but we edge closer to a decision, well this sounds all a bit regurgitated doesn't it? Now there's a name...Jerry would like it .. i better not mention it to him. We go in to finish the tracks in January, they are all starting to sound great, i hope you all like them.

The web site will be finished soon - here is a preview - turn your PC speakers on!

www.ourcongregation.co.uk

There will be some new video clips soon when i get back from my holidays, i have loads of great stuff to show you.

Happy New Year, Silver xx

The mobile Real Tones, [Silver tones]downloads and video clips will be up over the next few days.

Bullets For Angels'S site will be live around the same time www.garynuttall.com - he has some very funny video clips, and great songs you can download.

Its two o'clock in the afternoon here and i'm off to get some breakfast.

Thanx everyone.

Posted By: Neil: 30th November2006 - From Australia

Im bored of apologising, we've had a few technical difficulties with the downloads, but the good news, there will be new video clips up in the next day! We are now in Perth, its the first show tonight, and the first time we play Lovelight! i'm really looking foward to playing again, we play two nights here.

Max Beesly has joined us, hes going to play drums on a few songs, its never a dull moment when hes around, he makes us laugh alot!

Bullets For Angels's web site is going live soon, i"ve had a sneaky look, its great i think you will all like it very much.its not as good as mine though [joke]there are great video clips of when he first joined the band.

Nice to see Jerry's mum, Delia taking an interest in my website, i think she"s making sure her son is being looked after! Delia don't worry im looking after him....it takes up most of my time,h e needs alot of looking after dosent he? Was he always like this?

I'm going to sign off, got to go to the venue soon,thanx for everyone taking an interest in my site and we are still looking for a band new name, there are a few we like, but keep them coming - click here to suggest a band name.

Thanx.

Neil

Been home for a few days! Once again sorry for video clips not being up but i have a new computer! It's driving me mad!! I can't seem to get it to do what i want it to!
I will be endeavoring over the next few days! So EARLY NEXT WEEK i promise there will be new clips!

Also i'm sorry about the new songs not being up, they will be there next week too!

I have no news about Jerry! still no ORANGE SHOES, no-one has obviously found them! Such a shame! His quest took him to the canary islands, but NOTHING!! the rain bogged him down there for a while,i do now feel he is getting slowly over his misfortune!!

The band CHURCH [formally known as..] website, will be a while as we are bickering [well me and Jerry] about which name, so we are still looking for names any thoughts anyone?
He wants a funny name i want a more serious one! there does'ntt seem to be a middle ground! it may mean the break up of the band before we even get started! any more news. I will keep you all posted!!

Love Neil xx


Posted By: Neil: 23rd October 2006 - From Mexico City

Hi everyone!

We are now in MEXICO CITY!
The show in Rio was great! they were so up for having fun! it rained but it didn't dampen their spirits!!

We lost power on the second show in ARGENTINA and the show was stopped for about ten minutes, but it went on to be really good!

Back to RIO....on the show day Jerry lost his ORANGE SHOES, he has not been able to get over this tragedy! he has found it very difficult to go on stage without them! its like Sampson without his hair!! If anyone comes across them could you please let me know,you cant miss them.

Last show tonight,it will be a bit sad to leave here! i will miss everyone! looking forward to AUSTRALIA in december!

My new songs should be up any day now! let me know if you like them, also the RINGTONES (SILVERTONES) for your mobile phones to follow! Sorry about the video clips, i am not not very computer friendly! but i have loads more good stuff now! i am home in two days, i will put some up then!

Thanx for visiting me!

Neil xx


Posted By: Neil: 18th October 2006 - From Rio de Janeiro, Brazil leg of 'Close Encounters;

Now in Rio !

Doing a show tonight! after which we fly straight to Mexico city!
We have 2 shows there and fly back home!!

Blog continues below .. ..

Sorry i still haven't got any new video clips up, but they are all too big to send, so next week i will be posting quite a few from South America! as i go through them i will put them on the site!

Anyway needless to say we"ve had a great time, Jerry is just packing, he has forgot his DVT socks! he went running after bag man but he was too quick for him. I think it was nothing to do with the flight! he just likes wearing them!! Talk of the devil, Jerry wants say a few words, see you soon until next update....

Regards, Neil .

Hi Pop Pickers....Welcolme to Neil's fun packed, strong, electric book !

Here is a poem for you from Ipanema Beach:

The Gigs are Big
The Weather is Hot,
And Neil, he like to drink a lot !

Thank's for you're patience,

Jerry
