About Me

MySpace Codes 'Nick poures out passion like it was a free drug' Mac McLaren, Lemonrock editor

Nick's music
Passionate, angry, supercharged accoustic folk/rock with a sureal and sometimes political egde. Nick has been writing music since he was 15. Now an accomplished songwriter at 22 he has written 4 albums worth of material, recorded 3 solo ep's and has been in 3 different bands: Hired Help, Mahatma (who played at Glasonbury in 2005) and most recently Legion (of filth) who are fast becoming very popular with their grounbreaking unconventional blend of jazz/folk/rock with 3-part harmonies and timeless melodies. One of the most striking elements about this exciting new band are their chaotic live shows which have now become huge events particularly in London (see www.myspace.com/legionoffilth) The band are recording a new ep in 2007 and already have a homegrown ep and full length album in the bag!
