"Nick's gonna show you what a great guitar player he is on this one....."

Cue four minutes of blistering guitar, my favourite Nick moment is City Lights from "Ally Pally Palaver."
There's a tiny, tiny hopeful part of me that says you guys are running a Kaufmanesque long con on the board

Met Nick outside a venue in San Francisco when BAD 2 were on with P.I.L. Gave me backstage passes and invited me to a nightclub for the aftershow party. Very kind of him. R.I.P Nick.

Never met him, but talked via email a few times. Nick came across as a really nice guy and a real music lover.

Rather than plug is own band he was happy to chat about favourite Bob Dylan songs etc.

I liked the stuff he did with Dusk til Dawn too. It's a great pity that it didn't reach a wider audience.

And I agree that the live version of 'City Lights' is a bit special.
