HAND OF DIMES is the reunion of former SKIN singer and front man Neville MacDonald and keyboard player Neil Garland. 
Their friendship and song writing partnership goes back 30 years to the days when they were both part of the Welsh Rock Band KOOGA.
Their critically acclaimed Across The Water album was released in 1986 and was recently featured in Classic Rock Magazines list of 250 vinyl albums you must own. Sell out gigs at the legendary Marquee Club secured them a place at the Reading Rock Festival in 1987 alongside Alice Cooper and Status Quo.
Of course, Neil shares the 80’s acclaim of KOOGA with Nev. 
As co-writer of some of the best songs on the album, his song writing capabilities came to the fore just prior to its recording. They wrote instinctively and HAND OF DIMES has picked up where they left off.
Their debut album “RAISE” is full of soulful melodic rock which packs a serious punch. Strong melodic songs with lyrical weight are underpinned with a more Blues Rock stylethan either SKIN or KOOGA.
Supports with FM , Wishbone Ash, The Union and appearances at The Steelhouse Festival, Hard Rock Hell Festival, and Planet Rock Winter’s End Festival have seen an enthusiastic response from audiences all around the UK.
Two appearances with Whitesnake guitarist Bernie Marsden over a weekend at The Steelhouse Festival in 2017 playing both their own material and a selection Whitesnake 
songs has put them firmly on the classic rock map.
