Neil Milton is a Scottish musician and photographer, based in Warsaw, Poland. He is the owner and manager of too many fireworks records and is best known as guitarist in the frozen north from 2014 to 2016 and as a solo artist.

He began writing and recording music in 1999 with the post punk / post rock band, Troika. Before Troika split in 2005, he had formed his own record label, too many fireworks records, through which he has released records by Flying Matchstick Men, Laeto, Errors and Titus Gein among others. In 2004, the label gave birth to its Glasgow club-night, Fire: Works and Neil took up DJing, in a style which was later affectionately described as electrodiscowonkpop.

After a break of several years, Neil began to compose and record modern-classical music and experimental, ambient soundscapes and released several e.p.s on Manchester’s Valentine Records. He joined the Varsovian post-rock band, the frozen north, in January 2014 and released their debut single, “Origin / Electric Mistress” through too many fireworks in August. The band sadly split in 2016.

In Spring 2018, Neil released 'You Are The Summer', the first single of a new direction towards indie and guitar pop.
