Songwriters Festival 2002: Monday 14 January - £5:
Nick's albums 'Seed', 'Smithereens' and 'Harperspace' have been fabulous examples of an extremely talented and imaginative man's abilities to craft compelling songs.

A real thrill to see live, he also excitedly integrates extracts of songs that inspire him, which range from Prodigy to Public Enemy to Led Zeppelin ... yes, on an acoustic guitar !
He has been a member of and support to Squeeze on world tours, along with being a collaborative musician with Kate Bush, Dave Gilmour, Roy Harper (his father) and Jimmy Page.

Nick is a phenomenal guitar player, poignant and provocative lyricist and just about as committed a vocalist you can come across, all of which add up to a very special and enthralling experience.
" an intoxicating mix of the metaphysical, political and spiritual in his songs" - What's On.
"a major figure in his own right" - The Guardian.
"elevated stuff" - Mojo.

Plus guests : Bookerfinch (acoustic) & Cam Docherty
Bookerfinch are a birmingham based band who write touchingly melodic and deflty crafted songs that have seen them build up a strong following in the city. Cam's songs evoke spooky sad country and folk/country ballads that tip to Gene Clark, J.Cash, Dylan and Neil Young.
