''Over the years I have had the good fortune to play with some of the best musicians in the world, and Nick is up there with the very best. It always amazes me how deep his knowledge is of all styles from New Orleans, Jazz and Prog. And it has been heard to great effect with his work with Larry Garner, Chris Farlowe, Sonja Kristina and numerous other great established artists we have worked together with.
Besides being a master of the keyboards on piano and organ he is also a great songwriter, which is much in evidence on his new album.
He is in the front line of younger blues men coming through and add this talent to a great showman and you have the full package.' Norman Beaker

'Absolutely wonderful playing'. Gary Husband (Drummer, Jack Bruce, John McLaughlin)

'Such a thrill and fun to perform with you' PP Arnold
