Great songwriting too! Have you heard 15 minutes? that's also a great album. Steve Washington's drumming on that one.

Nik is on tour later this year by the way. First half of the gig is meant to be all of "Human Racing" and second half is songs from an upcoming new album.

Nik Kershaw has written some absolutely brilliant songs.

May try and get to see him...

I had seen adverts for a Zildjian clinic with Vinnie in Making Music magazine, I couldn't spell his name but I just new that he was a good player. Then I heard him for the very first time playing on Nik Kershaw's 'The Works' and then I KNEW he was a great player. That fill in 'Don't Ask Me' is unbelievable!

The drums are very well recorded too. On a side note, said that his wife sings like a bird. I may be able to get a review of last night's show. https://www.facebook.com/events/410960078933081/

It's been a favourite of mine since it came out. First time I'd heard Vinnie for me too...
Nik Kershaw seem's to have had good taste in drummers, the previous album (radio musicola) has good performances from Mark Brzezicki & Simon Phillips...

I am still with Nik and very much looking forward to our Summer shows and the Autumn tour. He is not only a great songwriter/guitarist but a lovely man to boot!

I'll have a look at dates/venues - I do like a bit of 80s nostalgia and Mr Kershaw has written an exeptionally good song or 2!

Bob - can you get him to explain 'The Riddle'?
