Neil will be doing a fair bit of touring - he’ll be playing with Jack Johnson in August and will also be doing headline shows on the west coast of USA, also in August. In addition, UK and European dates in September and a proper tour in USA in October (dates to follow soon).
For the moment you can catch Neil in London on July 1st at Village Underground plus Mason Jennings, Zach Gill and Tristan Prettyman supporting as part of The Happening. No doubt Neil will be performing most of the new record!
