Nicko – The Stickman!

Tell us about yourself

I started playing drums at the tender age of 8 and have been taught by a dance band drummer, brass band percussionist & military percussionist, which when combined with my love of rock & pop music has helped to develop my own unique style.
 
I entertained neighbours by playing along to the radio and at the age of 12 joined a local brass band as a percussionist and played in various competitions in the UK and a tour of Holland. This continued for another 15 years.
 
However, at the age of 20, I defected to the dark side and joined "Clear" as a keyboardist. I  later progressed to the drums and have been a regular on the local music scene as both performer & spectator.
