Neil Lewis (1953-2009)

Neil Lewis sadly passed away on 1st August 2009, finally losing his long battle with illness. 

Neil was taken ill whilst visiting Bermuda and returned to Wales shortly before his death.

After several years of chasing nurses and numerous previous visits to the Pearly Gates (just to look through, mind) he seems to have finally landed a gig at the ultimate venue. 

Well he always said it was the Pearly Gates he had visited, but I did ask how he managed to get his eyebrows singed ! 

Lea Porter is in the process of writing his biography, and it certainly promises to  make for some interesting reading.

For more details of Neil and his life go to his MyTribute2 site.

Neil's good friend Lea Porter has kindly sent a poster from one of his Canadian tours.

Neil had been playing as part of a duo, Sameway Twice.
