Neville Brown of Cornerstone was born and raised in Handsworth
Birmingham England. He started his musical career at 17 when he began to learn
the Bass guitar accompanying other musician in jam style sessions; this provided
the groundwork on which his production skills were to be built. Later he moved
to the six-string version and became the founder member of Cornerstone. He soon
emerged as the bands front man and main songwriter. The band played their first
gig on the eve of a new decade the Eighties. This paved the way for five years
of gigging and recording which included two sessions for the BBC on the John
Peel show, appearances on Central television plus various support gigs and
tours. These included Burning Spear, Gregory Isaac, Ziggy Marley, Dennis Brown
and Steel Pulse to name but a few. Unfortunately, before the band were signed
they split and went their separate ways. Following the split at risk Neville
worked with homeless young people and people at risk.
However, he became more and more frustrated working within the constraints of
‘the system’ and has recently set up a social enterprise that offers music
programmes and personal development via drumming circles and cultural awareness.
All ‘Talking Drums’ personal donates a percentage of their wages to TAC.
In November 2005 Neville visited Ghana where he witnessed much suffering and
distress. Many children were alone and desperate living on the streets without
regular food, water or shelter; innocent victims who suffer as a result of
deprivation Neville realized that without education and aid the children would
not be able to break free from poverty. He realized that many projects working
with children lacked the necessary infrastructure that would be needed to make
them successful.
On his return to England Neville discussed these issues with like minded people
who together wanted to make a difference, as a result the charity ‘Tribute to
African Children (TAC)’ was born.
During its first year TAC has been busy building a solid foundation from which
to launch future work.
If you are able to support our work in any way we would love to hear from you.
This could be fund raising, donations, time, or your expertise.

Strange day. After watching a documentary about streakers suffering from over exposure, I took a nap. It was a short one. I woke up a midget. At first I was freaking out, jumping around, trying to reach the wall phone. It tired me out. So I sat on a foot stool and placed my face in my hands wondering why this had happened to me. In the middle of self-pitying I started noticing how much fun it was to kick and swing my feet. I was smiling again, and found myself running through the house at full speed... wrestling with my now giant puppy. Oh, the joy! I hadn't had so much fun in years! We laughed and played and laughed until we both fell asleep exhausted on the living room floor. Then I woke up and ruined the whole damned thing.
