Throughout his degree studies Neil continued to play music on a frequent basis including playing principal clarinet with the Bedfordshire Youth Orchestra. During this time Neil became increasingly in playing jazz and other styles as well as classical music especially on the saxophone.

On completing his degree Neill embarked on a career of teaching and performing on clarinet and saxophone and has now been working professionally for the last fifteen years.
