The Grey Lady Music Lounge, Wednesday 22nd September 2010
This is a past event.
Headline Act: Nick John Wilson
Born with left side Microtia, Nick picked up the guitar from his folk playing parents when he was seven years old.
His uncle played drums with Suzi Quatro in the seventies, so music has always run in the family.
Nick started to sing and produce his own songs at eighteen having honed his blues, rag finger style and soulful rocky tones.
He ran a studio for three years and in 2013, now with time to focus on himself as an artist, released his debut EP followed by his debut album early 2015.
Nick aims to be out and about more than he ever has been, to promote himself, record label, charities and good music. More info online.

The.Seed began in December 2009 when solo artist Lupah Nomsuwan and co producer Fabian Eason began to branch out to promote the debut album of “First Cuts”.
Now, made complete with Matthew Ogilvie former drummer of los salvadores and the brain police's Ben Jones on lead guitar this new group are a mixture of urban soul and hip hop rock, with early influences from the Fugees and Jimi Hendrix, to the present day Nelly Furtado and Nerd.

Following this, the song 'Smile' topped KMFM's local music chart and recieved airplay.
