I can remember giving Nic his first gig in Brighton - I was running the College of Education Folk Club at the time, and he wrote saying he was just starting to go solo. I'd heard good reports of the Halliard so i took a risk, despite moans from people saying "never heard of him, what have you booked him for" - you know the usual things. But didn't they just eat their words!! And what is more, he even complimented me on my guitar playing... Good luck to him whatever he is doing.
