Stardate: December 2008

Nick is currently busy teaching and of course gigging all over the UK with top function band X-Elle, and has had a packed schedule over the last few months, including appearances with the One Eyed Cats and Citizen Smith, plus a number of theatre shows working for Steve Hession (Musical Director). He recently appeared with The Foottappers - the UK's youngest Shadows tribute act at a special `Shadows' Evening in Grantham, featuring Brian `Licorice' Locking. As well as the above projects, Nick is also working with `Undercover', playing pubs and clubs all over the Eastern region and also various other dep gigs! Some more great news; Nick is now an Elites Strings endorsee - many thanks to Dean `Deano' Mitchell and Barry Moorhouse at the Bass Centre.

Following the massive success of last years production of The Full Monty, the The Key Theatre, decided to run it again this year and Nick again supplied bass for the twelve piece band - the run has now finished; again packed houses and excellent reviews and Nick is now back at the Key throughout December (and into January '09) playing bass for Cinderella! (oh yes he is!).

2009 looks like another busy year (despite the credit crunch!) with numerous projects in the pipeline including a brand new Shadows tribute act, and a production of West Side Story which is scheduled in for February and more theatre work at The Key Theatre, as well as gigs with X-Elle etc etc.
