Reviews

Angus P, 5 years ago

“Nic played lead guitar in the band for Glasgow Live Productions’ ‘RENT’ and was a delight to work with. Technically he is a great guitarist and had no problems with any of the material. On top of his top-quality playing, he made very good use of different patches and effects which added greatly to the show. Nic would be welcome back to GLP anytime!”

“Nic came highly recommended as lead guitarist for a production of Rent I was working on and not only was he a fantastic player with excellent gear, he fitted in very well into the team with a professional attitude and amenable personality. I would have no hesitation in using and recommending him again”.
