I remember seeing Nic in one ocassion the late 70s (I saw him lots of times over the years )in a folk club in Southport. He had his fiddle with him but, after a rather accomplished Irish fiddle player from Liverpool had done a spot, Nic decided to leave his fiddle in its case. Because of his beautiful guitar playing, I always asumed that he could be a outstanding fiddler. Maybe he never devoted enough time to the instrument.
