A message from Clean Bandit, one of the most interesting current groups, about its departing violinist, Neil Milan:

It is with great sadness that we must announce that our performances of Tears over the Summer were Neil’s last shows with Clean Bandit. He told us recently that he has decided to leave. We have had a wonderful ride together and we are extremely excited to see what he does next. We are also very much looking forward to our upcoming shows and to sharing our new music with you. Thank you all for your support during this time, and thank you Neil for being part of this amazing journey. We will miss you a lot on this next chapter and we wish you the best of luck for the future. Jack, Grace and Luke – CLEAN BANDIT

The group, which started out as a classical string quartet at university, has scored #1 hits in several countries.

    Incorrect, Norman. The violinist’s name isn’t “Neil Milan” but Milan Neil Amin-Smith and the band did not start out as a classical string quartet.
    Only Neil Amin-Smith (violin) and Grace Chatto (who played cello) were in a quartet.
