Ric Neale is a musician and performer whose shows spotlight his expert songwriting. He has taken his theatrical, heartfelt and often hilarious performances of his brand of piano songsmithery all over the country. From concert halls (Howard Assembly Rooms, The Royal Albert Hall, The Palace Theatre), to intimate venues (The Brudenell Social Club, The Shoreditch Treehouse) Ric’s love for storytelling is crystal clear. His solo piano albums All That Counts, Pencil and Lullabies for Parents (a song cycle about parenting) show his ability to explore the extremities of the human condition using just his voice and a piano and the songs on these records are continually requested by his loyal audience. Ric has been invited to perform with Hue and Cry, David Mead, Jason Donovan, Divina De Campo and (weirdly) Tiffany. In 2023 he released the album Parting Ways inspired by the death of his lifelong friend to huge acclaim. It was the follow up to 2021’s collaborative album Connected/Disconnected which has already had over 800,000 streams on Spotify.
