i first met nick in 1979 he was in a trio called country tones we hit it off straight away.we followed the trio wherever they played we became very good friends.when we took over the pub the shoulder of mutton in castleford nick came to stay for about 2 weeks and ended up staying for nearly 4 years.we had great jamming sessions when other musicians came to see him.he also loved playing domino's he taught me how to make a great spaghetti bolognese.i am really glad that i met him he was a great guy who will be sadly missed with love margaret parker.
