NICOTIN's (then called Nicotine) started life towards the end of 1976. The first line up was Dany Dumitru-Joan, Guy Vansnick, JL Hubeau and Yves Herman. With a repertoire of covers and a few original numbers, the group played in Belgium, France and Luxembourg. In 1978, the group split up and its members embarked on separate projects. In 2001, Dany and Guy met by chance at a jam session and decided to put the group back together. They played several concerts with different guitarists. In October 2003, Guy et Dany recruited Simon Coates and Henri Van Durme. After almost a year of rehearsals and a few gigs in Brussels, Dany decided to move on. A few weeks of uncertainty and various trials later, in the end it was Daniel Omloop, one of Guy's former brothers in arms, who took up the bass. To get the group back on the road, Simon took over the lead vocal. This new line up has now been stable for over a year. As a running in exercise, the group has built up a repertoire based on covers of classic rock numbers by the likes of theRolling Stones, Lou Reed, Bowie, the Who, Cream, Free and the Kinks, but they plan to
add their own songs over time...
