Nic's first ' band ' was The Halliard, with Dave Moran and Nigel Pattinson, Nic usually played fiddle on Halliard gigs, I saw them at the Grass Roots folk club in Halifax [ Yorks ] in the late 60s, Nigel didn't turn up but he must have been superfluous cos Nic and Dave were superb without him. Ah those were the days.
