Every band in the British rock history at some time has a manager named Nigel. Attended Winkertons Prep in Salisbury and then onto Bendover Academy for Boys, onto Eton and then to Cambridge. Private income wanted a band to manage, managed Quo for 2 weeks and left because of the alleged "Touch my arse again and I'll kill you" incident with Alan Lancaster's Dad. |
