Neil Davey
Neil is a former private banker turned freelance journalist. Heโs also a trained singer, a former cheesemonger, once got paid to argue with old women about the security arrangements at Cliff Richard concerts and almost worked with a cross-dressing wine importer. He now basically eats for a living but, judging by the state of his shirts, isnโt very good at it.
