Description
Well, that's me! Since being made redundant as an ICT Systems Manager in May 2014 I have been concentrating on music in a number of different, ever-evolving acts, involving many very talented people. You can see details in the description below. I have also been recording songs, mainly covers, in my own right, because I really like them! The plan is to make a living at doing one of my greatest passions, so we'll see how that pans out in the future. There will be many gigs and many recordings.
Dave Nicholls Solo Complete
Everything in one place! Choose from Vintage, Dance, Acoustic & DJ. Have any combination or go for the whole package!
Dave Nicholls Solo Vintage
My solo act offering well-known songs from the Great American and British Songbooks and beyond. Think The Rat Pack v Michael Buble.
Dave Nicholls Solo Dance
