As I understand it John ('Nick')Nichols was drummer with L.D.from late 56 to early 1960 appearing with him at Royal Variety Performances in London to Madison Square Garden and just about everywhere inbetween. He moved into Jazz and was active into this century (until his hands gave up on him). He is alive in Cape Town, and I guess the last remaining performer from the group in its heyday... http://www.hillmanweb.com/donegan.html... gives a good indication of his importance in the group.
