Neil Hamilton Wilkinson (stage name Hamilton) is the bassist and second vocalist in British Sea Power.
Until recently he was also the secondary songwriter in the band, however he has written half of their latest album Do You Like Rock Music, whereas Yan has only written three of the tracks. Around 35% of the bands' previous recorded output was written and/or sung by Hamilton, including a number of cover versions on which he has taken lead vocals. On the majority of his own songs he plays guitar rather than bass, and also plays keyboards on songs such as "Heavenly Waters". He also directed all of BSP's early videos, up to and including It Ended On An Oily Stage, as well as the video for "Pick Up the Phone" - the debut single by Brakes.
