Nigel was bass guitarist and tour manager on the 2017 Rolan Bolan UK Tour for EC3 Records (Rolan is the son of Marc Bolan of T-Rex).
As a solo performer, Nigel generally plays a mix of original compositions written over the last three decades and covers from the 1950s to the present day.
His unique, self-taught guitar style draws heavily from JJ Cale, Eric Clapton and Mark Knopfler, combining blistering solos and bass-infused rhythm guitar with well-crafted lyrics and a rocky bluesy vocal that reflects his many years on the road.
