Neil claims to be the most recent and thus least experienced of IWMM, evident by a paucity of badges. He is drawn to The Morris by the music, the mystery and movement and the possibility of getting a few more years out of his cricket whites. Moved by Pete Bradley’s enthusiasm, his first taster session with a fractured metatarsal aided by an orthopaedic boot and veterinary doses of painkiller was a turning point. He’s been turning the wrong way since. Not so much a singer as a tuneful speaker. He has a squeezebox but like a true gentleman rarely plays it. He could be useful in the likely event that the side need someone who knows their way round a defibrillator.
