About Me

My name is Nick. I have been a professional musician since the 1970's during which time I have worked both as a performer, session musician, composer, and teacher.

Although I play many stringed instruments, I specialise in Guitar and Pedal Steel Guitar.

I studied classical guitar to grade 8, (Royal College of Music) Jazz guitar with Ike Isaacs (Hot Club de France) and self-taught rock, folk and country.

I taught myself Pedal - Steel Guitar.
