nick was an integral part of the radio leeds country shows with roger. I met him long before I started the show as presenter and with myself & mike storey it ran for 20 years. He also made a large contribution to the records I put out by Hugo Mc Gill, Doc & Chickie Williams and Tommy Collins. I recall being so impressed by his ability to switch from mandolin to lead electric guitar with ease and he worked for me in the studios as session leader. He was a talent that should have gone on to even greater things. Last time I was in contact he was working with my friend Hugo Mc Gill in yarmouth-the baby face comment on a previous posting is very true-he never seemed to get older-in looks or disposition. Fond memories of a gentle and occasionally eccentric friend.
