Eccentric, innovative, and enigmatic (or just weird?!?) - from big band Janet Jive and the Red Hot Daddies, to soul band Soulfinger… from Gerry Cottle's Circus orchestra Musical Director, to esoteric mumbo-jumbo Sphynx; from space rock Hawkwind®, to Sixties ska Skastars… from pomp rock Imperial Pompadours, to musico-satirico-politico punk Inner City Unit… from busking cool grooves on the streets, to laying down the red hot jazzy Afro-Cuban club rave of his Fantastic Allstars and Galaktikos - Nik is full of surprises. |
