His mother died when he was a young lad and was left to bring up his sister almost single handedly while his father paid the children little attention. He left school and immediately took up work as a dustman to provide an income for him and his sister, Jackie. It is this bond that has remained over the years and now, some years later, he lives a few minutes walk from her.
He is a devoted father and musician and enjoys his work.
Words of wisdom from Nick are "If you can market a band called Kajagoogoo, you can market anything".
He has worked with many top pop artists and has his own web site.
