About Me

I'm Nick, I was born in Jersey, CI and lived there til I was 25. I'm now living in the marvelous city of Manchester!!
I'm keyboard player in a band called The Merge. You can check us out @ WWW.MYSPACE.COM/THEMERGEUK.
I'm hoping one day that we will go to the top of the toppermost, and I intend to enjoy myself doing it! We've had a few hiccups recently, but I still believe in us!
I enjoy writing song lyrics and hope one day to write a novel or screenplay as well.
I used to be a nifty right winger or full back, but now my only involvement with footy is getting depressed watching city in the boozer... but the glories days will return soon!
I'm usually a bit of a daft drunk & there are numerous stories floating about re these shenanigans - if you know me you'll know what they are (I hate customs officials!!!)
I love watching live music, I've seen Oasis so many times I've lost count, The Charlatans 4 times (& counting) and many others including Kasabian, Razorlight, Morrissey, Ian Brown, Delays & I'm very lucky to have supported many top bands with The Merge as well. I really enjoy watching unsigned bands. Seen some great bands trying to achieve what I am and good luck to em all!
I love indie disco's and dancing like Bez
I also love Custard Creams, Gregg's Steak Slices & Holland's Steak Puddings
LIVE IT LIKE YOU LOVE IT!
