What do you want to know about music production Neil?
I have a full studio at home and have recorded three albums over the last 5 years that have all been properly released. Two by my own record company and one by a commercial record company - Lion music.
It is a great way to take your mind off being ill, although I can sometimes be a little obsessive about it

Any questions let me know.
BTW Here's a vid from the Christmas gig mentioned above. Neil, I have been where you are now, and what I'm doing now is acheivable, just relax and believe you can do it.
