Not many soloists will play eight Red Hot Chili Peppers songs, let alone eight Jack Johnson ones. Nicko does both. The Maryborough guitarist and singer has more than 15 years of gigging behind him and runs his show two ways, purely acoustic or with backing tracks that fill out the sound like a full band, plus some lighting to dress the space. He'll play at whatever volume suits your event. One host booked him for a 50th with more than 50 guests and called him absolutely brilliant. Pete Murray, George Ezra and Mumford and Sons all get a run too.

I just want to let everyone know who visits Nicks page or is looking for a musician for an event or party, that he was absolutely brilliant! I had Nick play at my 50th birthday in January this year and with over 50 guests, it was great to have Nick playing his guitar and singing in my back garden. My friends still talk about how good the music was! I would highly recommend Nick for any occasion or event that you are thinking of having! A big thank you Nick for making my 1/2 century a memorable event! Cheers.
Thanks
Naomi

Good to know
What to expect
Plenty of music, played at whatever volume suits the occasion, and Nicko brings some lighting along to dress the space while he's at it. Loud enough for a party, low enough for a long lunch. Your call on the night.
On the day
Short list. A power point, or a lead run out to wherever Nicko has set up, since the backing tracks and the lighting both need feeding. And if there's any chance of rain, a covered spot to play from. Sort those two before the day and there's nothing else he'll ask you for.
