Nigel’s influences lie with the NWOBHM that Marseille helped pioneer and he first saw Marseille suport UFO in 79. Nige remembers that he was actually too young to go into the Manchester Apollo bar back in 1979, had to get that one in.

Nige joined Marseille in February 2009 after a call from Steve who knew Nige was active on the North West covers band circuit. Steve invited him to jam with the band, the resulting sessions formed the new Fourplay E.P. “It’s a pretty weird feeling when you join a band that you were a fan of as you have all kinds of preconceived ideas of what the guys would be like but they are just a bunch of ordinary guys, even the one who used to be on the telly!”
