Dave Nick

"Party of One" is an album by English singer-songwriter Nick Lowe. Produced by Dave Edmunds, it was released in 1990 by Reprise Records and reissued with altered cover art and two bonus tracks in 1995 by Upstart Records. "Party of One" is one of only two Nick Lowe solo albums with no cover songs, as it is made up entirely of songs written or co-written by Lowe (the other album is 1982's "Nick the Knife").

With every passing year, it becomes a little less accurate to say that Nick Drake has a cult following. Cults, by their very nature, tend to exist on the margins, the subject of their admiration unknown or even unloved by the vast majority of people. "Bryter Layter", Nick Drake’s second album, was released on Island Records in the UK in 1970. Like his debut album, it was engineered by John Wood and produced by Joe Boyd. All brass and string arrangements were by Robert Kirby, Nick’s vocals and guitar were augmented by Fairport Convention’s Richard Thompson on guitar, Dave Pegg on bass and Dave Mattacks on drums. John Cale contributed keyboards and viola, Ray Warleigh played viola and flute, Pat Arnold and Doris Troy added backing vocals, amongst others.

Hear & Now expresses the energy and emotions of the early 21st century human experience. There is an inherent dichotomy to life today. The income gap is widening, digital and real-life are becoming more integrated, and at the same time are more isolating. All the while, there is a looming feeling of history's tragedies rearing their ugly, cyclical, heads. The compositions on Hear & Now" take the listener on a journey from high energy, to self- reflection, and looking ahead to a brighter future.

"Nick Lowe and His Cowboy Outfit" is a 1984 album by British singer-songwriter Nick Lowe. The record marked the official debut of Lowe's new band, the Cowboy Outfit (although all of the band members had appeared on Lowe's previous album, The Abominable Showman). "Nick Lowe and His Cowboy Outfit" incorporates more of a roots rock feel than Lowe's previous albums, including nods to Tex-Mex music ("Half a Boy and Half a Man"), 1950s guitar instrumentals ("Awesome"), and country music (via a cover of Faron Young's "Live Fast, Love Hard, Die Young"). Other notable tracks include the soul-influenced "L.A.F.S." - which was co-produced and arranged by Elvis Costello (a role reversal of sorts, as Lowe had produced Costello's first five albums).

With even more of the Fairport Convention crew helping him out – including bassist Dave Pegg and drummer Dave Mattacks along with, again, a bit of help from Richard Thompson – as well as John Cale and a variety of others, Drake tackled another excellent selection of songs on his second album. Demonstrating the abilities shown on Five Leaves Left didn't consist of a fluke, Bryter Layter featured another set of exquisitely arranged and performed tunes, with producer Joe Boyd and orchestrator Robert Kirby reprising their roles from the earlier release.

Well known for holding down the low end in many a Perth jazz group and for his contribution to the original music of TRISK and Abbey|Foster|Falle, upright/electric bassist and composer Nick Abbey has become an integral fixture of the jazz and contemporary music scenes in WA since arriving from Melbourne in 2006. Nick was a finalist at the 2015 National Jazz Awards and his compositions have repeatedly drawn accolades, including three consecutive WAM Jazz Song of the Year wins in 2012 (Maelstrom), 2013 (Avina), and 2014 (Charon).
