The unofficial website for UK Singer-Songwriter Neil Thomas

Heaven Scent
1991-1992

The sky was burning bright when I took you by the hand, You said that you could see, All that was meant to be, The stage is darker now, but I still see your face, shining in every crowd, standing out so proud.

Bringing UK AOR to the masses

Following the demise of Keighley school rockers "Ethel and the Heroes", Darren, Derek and Phil recruited bass player Nick Hudson and local singer-songwriter Neil Thomas, to form Heaven Scent in 1992.

The five-piece power pop rock band went on to play numerous shows in and around West Yorkshire and attracted record company interest. A signing with Bradford's Pax Records gave the band an insight into the music business and this very negative experience led to the recording of the self-funded Head up in the clouds Album. Twelve songs which showcased their commercial potential, recorded at Bradford's In A City Studio.
