sorry- finger slipped.... Sad news indeed... a couple of memories- I'd met Nick when I was booked at the excellent 'Florence' club in Islington & knew he was a continental lorry driver in the 70s. I lived in Dover at the time & one wild night at about 2 a.m. he arrived at my door with an inch of snow on his hat & several inches on the ground- he'd abandoned his HGV on the A20 & sought refuge! He was a great opera fan & a regular visitor to The Wagner Ring event in Bayreuth. He tried to convert me, and I have a lovely operatic memory from the Empress club in Islington. He put down his trombone, stood up and launched into 'La Donna e mobile', accompanied by the Flowers Band'- great stuff- a lovely bloke I haven't seen for 40 years, but great memories. RIP pal
