About Me

Coal Face (aka Nick Prendergast) was born in the Halifax Royal Infirmary, West Yorkshire, England - WITH SOME HAIR. Then, through the following years, dossed about playing hide and seek, fox and hounds and "kick the can and hop it" in various parts of Bailiffe Bridge and Leeds.I first picked up a guitar when I was about 17 years old then (VERY steadily) by the age of 29 had learned about 4 chords by which time I was cooking on gas.bye byeCoal Face
