Sean says my greatest influence was my dad the late Jonnie Nicholson (rip). Dad never played music but loved it with a passion. He was tireless in his efforts helping me persue a career in music from my boyhood into my late teens. Thanks Dad miss you , sorry you couldn’t be around to hear some of my songs.
