-Award Winning Playwright-
Neil Armstrong
On this page you will find MP3's of some of the music I have composed, produced and performed for my plays as well as a few bits and bobs. One of the things I like about writing for Theatre and Film is you get to do loads of different styles. So below you will find everything from Psychedelic Rock to Light Operetta. I hope you enjoy listening.

None of this matters.
A playful murder ballad from "The Thirteenth Fairway", written by myself and Duncan Allan. This is a song sung by a small fairy to a self obsessed businessman on a golf course shortly before she dispatches him.

Use your Imagination
A song from "The Gingerbread Girl" a jaunty plea for children of all ages to not loose the ability to make stuff up. A big chorus number.

Carol I'm Comin'
Here's a song I wrote for a movie that didn't happen. It's the muddled ravings of a mad 60's counter culture musician railing against the world whilst professing his undying lust for his girlfriend Carol.

Strangers
This is the theme tune to "Strangers on a Bus" also used by The Theatre Royal Newcastle in "Is Anybody There" a comedy by Caroline Fairley. It's a sneaky little Miss Marple type tune for harpsichord and orchestra.
