Nick
Nick, Guitar, Keyboards and Lead Vocals
Nick, having finally reached the spritely age of 29 (!) looks back over the past 25 years with a strange sense of satisfaction. Who would have believed back in the mid 80's that this rather quirky band idea of his would still be going strong 25 years later! So Nick was here from the beggining, in fact he started it all by pulling P.I. together out of the dregs of the infamous Maidstone band Necromancer. And throughout these 25 years Nick has provided the band with clear direction....to the nearest Kebab shop!
Nick plays guitar, a bit of a strummer really and quite proud of the fact that he writes songs without the need for guitar solo's, well not many anyway, which is quite a novalty for a prog based outfit. He also plonks about on keyboards and filled the dual guitar and keyboard role between Andy Quinnell (original keys player left in 1997) and the truly excellent arrival of Jonathan Vincent in 2011 (now he really can play keys and pretty well anything else too!).
Outside of the band Nick loves repairing (and breaking) stuff, eating curry, watching films, music of all types except Rap and the Blues! and generally being an annoyance at his BBC day job! Oh and of course KEBAB's which is what it is all about really!
