After a notable mention as sax player with Roy Wood’s Wizzard 1978 saw Nick take to the high seas playing on the ‘floating Butlins’ SS Oriana he toured and recorded with The Steve Gibbons Band. And as soon as he was based in London, he worked with Roger Chapman’s ‘Shortlist’ and then Chas and Dave.
Nick has played with numerous blues bands including Juice on the Loose and Diz and the Doormen and backed visiting musicians such as Dr. John, Doug Sahm, Augie Meyers and Big Jay McNeely. Whilst working with Gary Moore, he played alongside BB King, Albert King and Albert Collins.
Over the years, he has worked continuously as a session musician, and for 20 years was the main sax player in the West End production of Blood Brothers.
Nick has recently gone full circle and formed a band with saxist Mike Burney and other Wizzard veterans called The Old Horns Band!
