2.Brief biography
Ardley was born on 26 May 1937 in Wallington, Surrey.He read Chemistry at Bristol University, where he also played both piano and sax in jazz groups, and from which he graduated in 1959 with a B.He developed dual careers in music and in writing and publishing, both of which he continued until his death on 23 February 2004.Singing in local choirs in the later 1990s led Ardley to start composing choral music, and this occupied most of his musical attention until his death.At the time of his death, Ardley had begun to gig and record again with a slimmed down Zyklus consisting of himself, Warren Greaveson, and Nick Robinson.Don Rendell)

Ardely joined the editorial staff of the World Book Encyclopedia in 1962, when the London branch of the American publisher was producing an international edition.This took four years, during which time he developed the skill of editing and writing introductory material for the young.After a brief period working for Hamlyn, he became a freelance editor in 1968 (which enabled him to continue with his musical career), and then in the 1970s moved into writing introductory books, mostly for children, on natural history (especially birds), science and technology, and music, such as What Is It?.Just as his composing and performance had been moved forward by the introduction and development of technology, so too with his publishing career as computers began to become more and more important.The Way Things Work, illustrated by David Macaulay.When he retired in 2000 Ardley had written 101 books, with total sales of about ten million.Question and Answer Encyclopedia.Eugene Chadbourne for All Music Guide.Grave profile for Neil Ardley
