It is with some sadness that we announce that Neil has left Mesh. After 15 years he has decided to pursue other interests outside of music and both myself and Rich wish him the very best of success with all that he does from this point onward. The split is amicable and we of course remain friends. Neil has asked us to pass on this message to all of you:
"I'm very proud of what the three of us have achieved in the past 15 years. We've sold more records and played around the World in a way I don't believe any of us imagined was possible when we started. More importantly I've met many fantastic people, made some great friends and had some of the best adventures in my life thanks to mesh. There are a lot of people and a great many things I shall miss by leaving but 15 years is a long time and for me the time has come to move on and I need to give some headspace to other things in life.
I've always been touched by and hugely appreciated all the kindness and support shown by so many people over the years. So I'd like to take the opportunity to say a big thank you to all our fans and the magazines, promoters, websites and other people who've helped us along the way. I'll be contacting many people direct but as part of this 'public' goodbye I'd particularly like to thank: Val and Jim, Jan, Sascha and Bianka, Sebastian, Lorenz, Esbjorn and Rickard, Pete, Jessica, Michael J, Michael C, Soren, Steve M. and of course..Rich and Mark. Thank you all and good luck for the future in whatever you choose to do and whatever dreams you follow. Take care.
Neil"
We would like to take this opportunity to stress that myself and Rich will continue with the band - it's something that we love and we feel there is so much more to achieve. It's an exciting time for us and as the main song writing partnership we feel there are a lot of songs that still need to be written. We have known of Neil's decision for some time now and as such it does not affect our plans to tour in November / December. Of course, if you know of a keyboard player who lives in Bristol, has glasses and can talk like a robot, feel free to get in touch....

Thanks for your support as always. It's particularly appreciated at the moment.
