O2 Making Waves - Nigel Place

Coming from a background of garage bands and heavy metal, it's surprising that Nigel Place now creates songs with beautiful words, dulcet tones and wistful strumming. His goal in writing music is to create a strong song with strong lyrics and a strong melody, which is abundantly clear in his material. He sees artists such as Elbow and Jeff Buckley as being major influences on his music, but also has a strong admiration for anybody who just goes out and does it! Nigel started gigging in the 90's but took a career break as he 'fell out of love with music'. Luckily, he picked up his guitar a few years ago and rekindled the old flame, and now is once again out there sharing his songs with the public.
