NICK SALOMAN
Leader of The Bevis Frond, Nick first crossed paths with the 'Zoners' when working with Reecey, presenting some Satellite Shows for RNI Norway back in 1992.
A chance meeting between Nick and Reecey at a gig in London in late 2000 led to Nick being immediately enrolled (should that be captured ?) in the school for Zoneheads. At a recent interrogation, we managed to extract the following information :
His first 'proper' gig attended was in 1963, when he persuaded his Mum to take him along to the Hammersmith Odeon, to see The Beatles.
Since then, they have been his favourite Band. By 1966, he'd added the Stones and The Yardbirds, amongst others, to the list. Other great influences through the years are the Jimi Hendrix Experience, the Beach Boys, and Country Joe and the Fish. Nicks musical knowledge is, frankly, encyclopedic, and he has a record collection to rival, perhaps even surpass, the rest of the Zone crew put together. In recent years with his Band, Nick has travelled all over the world, playing Gigs and sharing stages with the likes of Arthur Lee, Country Joe, Randy California, and Nirvana. Check out his Show on The Album Zone, airing every fortnight. Believe me, it?s an education...
