THE NICK JACKSON BAND
Background
The Nick Jackson band was forged out of the smouldering ashes of the acclaimed 80s/90s Manchester band MIRRORS OVER KIEV . Having released two albums and several singles on Manchester labels Imaginary Records, Playtime Records, Run River Records and Meadowland Records (See Discography link). Many former MIRRORS OVER KIEV releases have become rare and valuable classics (Available form the “Merchandise” link).
Co-founder and MIRRORS OVER KIEV frontman and songsmith Nick Jackson eventually sought blessed release from endless European touring and record company and management palaver.
While some band personnel explored other projects including writing for stage and Americana band The Good Sons, Nick Jackson deescalated and formed the organic and dynamic NICK JACKSON BAND. Calling on the cohesive and robust rhythm section of John Wilkinson (bass) and brother/ex Mirrors member Ben Jackson (drums/vocals), Nick fashioned a new sound to further develop his earthy & poignant song writing skills.
THE NICK JACKSON BAND's first album “Miracles” was released in 2000 to huge critical acclaim culminating in headline performances at the Edinburgh festivals of 2003/2004. “Miracles” established the benchmark for future projects and called upon the talents of many fellow musicians from Nick's native Northern town of Bolton.
The new album release “Secrets” calls upon Nick's many recent personal experiences and signposts a newly enthused and virulent Nick Jackson. He has again called upon the talents of many guest musicians including former MIRRORS OVER KIEV band mates, Ben Jackson (drums) and Phil Abram (Guitar/Hammond Organ).
THE NICK JACKSON BAND will continue to tour through out 2005 and have planned world domination by late 2006! Watch this spaceHave you performed in front of an audience?Yes, where ever and when ever we can. The size of the band depends on the venue. The band can vary in size from one to five, or even seven

I'm sure you'll go down a treat here as your songs are FAB.
Thanks too for letting me sing a few songs last week, I thoroughly enjoyed my weekend in Bolton and meeting Carol and yourself. I really need to get out and do more live performances, get my confidence up again, and finding the time to do it LOL.
Anyway thanks again. I've voted HOT for all your songs and I am looking forward to hearing a lot more of you.
Take care

Hi Nick, Thank you...Not sure what it means but being called "top banana" on your profile page cracks me up! I think your voice is superb and you know I've always loved your material so the songs are on my stations of course. It sure is a long time ago now but I'll be forever grateful to you for being the very first person to give me encouragement by volunteering to sing a couple of my songs in the North West Songwriting competition. Maybe you'll call by to hear one of the songs you sang "All I need is in your heart" ....(still very basic with no bridge or whatever, but it was my first song!) I hope to catch you live again very soon...even if it's just to hear the beautiful "Northern Song" Many thanks again, Carol.x
