So sorry to hear the sad news. yet another fine musician and character gone from us. I first came across his at the Sunday lunch music gigs run by Barbara and Royce Seabourn ( Gallery). Nick was mainly working with Jeremy Wolstenholme at that time and they often guested at The Beggars Folk Club. I saw him working with Brian Golbey,with Roger Knowles and with Dave Rowinsky but there was never anything to match the buzz that was to be seen, heard and felt at the Grove on a Sunday lunch when Nick together with Ian Firbairn and Paul Buckley would turn the back room of a pub into a world stage.
Thank you Nick and be at peace.
