Neil first heard a member of an audience shout "Macca !" (Sir Paul's nickname in the UK and Europe) at a music gig he did in 1997, whilst he was playing current and popular chart hits to an appreciative Liverpool audience, for Merseyside, like Paul, is Neil's home county. At first, confused by what he heard, it was later explained to him that the ladies in the crowd thought he looked like Paul McCartney!

It still took him several years to fully realise the career potential of having the "McCartney face", when in 2005 he sent a picture of himself to a leading London Lookalike agency. Straight away he was booked to appear in a TV advert for channel 4, advertising a new radio station. It seemed there was a possibility of a new career direction!

Being a musician anyway, it seemed the natural thing, to do a full musical tribute to Paul McCartney, The Beatles and Wings so Neil set about perfecting his tribute act.

Neil also began to undertaken lookalike work as "Sir Paul" for all the major UK TV channels, as well as European TV and many advertising campaigns for services and products. One of the most recent lookalike work being a TV ad for a top Croatian beer. View this advert in You Tube here

The ultimate accolade, was being hand picked by Paul himself to work as his "double" on the former Beatles music video for his hit song "Dance Tonight" in 2007. Neil has worked for Paul on other occasions too.

Both musical and lookalike video clips can be found in the Media area of this site. Further clips can be heard and viewed from Neils My Space site

Neil has taken his musical show all over the UK, and several Countries in Europe. In May 2008 he played in Las Vegas at the famous Imperial Hotel, home to the well established "Legends" of pop show.

In December 2009, Neil formed a 5 piece band. The band recreate the full experience of McCartney gigs, see the Macca Band section for more details.
