(2008) Radio Silence (2010) The Face of Mount Molehill (2012) Touch and Flee (2014). Neil Cowley As a young boy, London-born Neil Cowley studied classical music at the prestigious Royal Academy, and by the age of 10 had performed a Shostakovich piano concerto to a full house at London’s Queen Elizabeth Hall.
