Nic started working as a professional session musician in 1980 after moving to London, mainly with jazz musicians for the first 3 years including artists such as Ian Carr’s Nucleus, Allan Holdsworth, Jim Mullen, Martin Taylor, Ronnie Scott, Kenny Wheeler, Hank Crawford, David ‘Fathead’ Newman (Ray Charles’ sax player), John Taylor, Gordon Beck, Loose Tubes, L. Shankar and Mose Allison. He also appeared on a T.V. drum clinic with legendary player Billy Cobham.

Nic then began working in the Rock and Pop music world as well, with such artists as: Bill Withers [two tours of U.K. & Europe], Tanita Tikaram [3 world tours and 3 albums] and Working Week [3 European tours + Japan and 3 albums]. He recorded with Pete Townsend, Thomas Dolby and recently played with Annie Lennox and Nigel Kennedy. He has played at many major venues worldwide including The Royal Albert Hall and Montreux, Nice, Detroit, Singapore and Bombay Jazz Festivals and Glastonbury and Knebworth Rock Festivals. Additionally, he has played with leading British Jazz vocalists, Ian Shaw and Barb Jungr at Ronnie Scott’s Club.

Nic started playing in Terry’s band later than the others, in February 2005. This period included a tour of Japan and the summer European Jazz festival circuit. I also played at the Swedish Umea Jazz Festival in October 2005 with Anders Jormin, Andy Sheppard and Rita Marcotulli.
