last couple of gigs in 2008

hi

nick only has two official concerts in the books for this year due to acting commitments, the courthouse arts centre with michelle plum (and chris layhe of the icicle works) and then headlining the hartlepool folk festival the night after.

there may be some other gigs booked between now and the new year - and nick usually plays over the festive period at some point - so do keep a look out.

nick and his various bands/line-ups had a very successful summer - many thanks for your support.

recordings are being planned for the new year, and do check out the michelle and nick cd, contact us to get hold of a copy - only £3.

otley/saltaire/michelle & nick cd

from nick's myspace blog this morning;

"hi

well otley fest started in grand style with a great (though i say so myself!) michelle and me gig, with a lovely vocal cameo from dr dunc. lovely audience in korks and great turns all round. dave vermond was particularly on cracking form. it reminded me that i am as much a fan of dave's writing and performance as i am of mcnabb, young, springsteen and dylan. fact.

tonight (friday) there's a change of venue. since the sad demise of the red lion, the acoustic gigs have moved into the whitakers beer garden. we are promised fine weather so it shouldn't be a problem and there is a gazebo up! looking forward to it! no michelle guesting tonight, but hopefully chris bunyan on cahon.

tomorrow (saturday) sees us at the rugby club, which is a great venue, sandwiched between karl robin's new band (should be ace) and the deeply fab dave v! that's a full hall bros set with guests michelle and chris bunyan.

then it's the maddest sunday ever! 12 noon we kick off a rock set at the whitakers beer garden. it'll be a shorter than normal set as the acoustic concerts need to start just after 2, then it's a dash over to saltaire to play the piazza stage (lovely big outdoor gig) with the rock line-up, then back to otley to play the civic centre with michelle (and dunc cameoing again). mad stuff!

hope to see some of you during the weekend! if only to purchase the new michelle and nick cd that we've recorded at the home studio this week! it's great, a 4 track 'demo' for only £3!

then i start rehearsals for a new touring play. hmmm.
