CREDITS

Throughout his career, Nigel has previously worked with:

Multi-platinum producer Dito Godwin (Universal Records/Motley Crue/No Doubt)
British Blues Awards winner Bex Marshall (House of Mercy Records)
Will Johns (Big Bear Records/Sons of Cream)
Ian Siegal

SOLO ARTISTRY & STYLE

When performing solo, Nigel usually plays a set of a blend of original compositions, written over the last three decades, and covers from the 1950s to the present day.

His unique, self-taught guitar style borrows heavily from JJ Cale, Eric Clapton and Mark Knopfler, combining blistering lead lines and bass-infused rhythm guitar with well-crafted lyrics and a bluesy, rock-edged vocal which reflects his many years of touring experience.

"I’m ready to rock again anytime. The kind of musical ESP we conjured is rare indeed"

- Greg Douglass (Rock and Roll Hall of Fame/Steve Miller Band/Van Morrison)
