Nick Bryson - Bass / Vocals Nick is one of the South’s premier session bass players & sound engineers having worked on stage with BBC Folk Award winners, Mercury Music prize winners and Ivor Novello nominated bands.

Currently bass player for festival favourites Selby & The Dharma Blitz - Nick has collected about 40 years worth of experience in event management, performance and live sound in his 29 years on Earth.
