I always thought Nic was a superb accompanist, an excellent guitarist, and an exciting fiddler.
How can I put this tactfully..I am very pleased he is singing again.
Singing and rating singers is a very subjective critique.
I think there were a number of other singers, Tony Rose,Ewan MacColl, Peter Bellamy, who were finer exponents of song interpretation.
However Nic had great stage presence and charisma and an unmistakeable Guitar style.
hope this does not offend anyone, but that is my opinion.
