Back in 2022, Nik delighted fans everywhere by announcing that the songs that had been gathering dust on his old DAT shelf were worth a revisit. ”Between 1989 and 1998, I took a step back to focus on writing and production for other artists. The result was a shelf full of songs. A few made it […]

Tickets are on general sale THIS Friday, so set the alarms and […]

I’d finished recording “15 minutes” but was yet to unleash it (or even tell anyone it existed) and was pretty nervous about writing songs with random […]
“Around 98/99, armed with renewed confidence from touring “15 minutes”, I frequented the Kashmir Klub which was an acoustic get together for all manner of songwriters in the basement of a wine bar just off the Marylebone. It was run by keyboard player/songwriter and radio presenter Tony Moore, who now does a similar thing from […]
“This was written in the very late 90s. So late, in fact it was March 2001 and technically doesn’t satisfy the criteria for “songs from the shelf” (It’s my game and I’ll cheat if I want to). “To Be Frank” was already in the can by this point and no other bugger was likely to […]
“Strangely, this was never registered at the time but, judging from its placement amongst my other demos, this would have been from around 1996.
