English Nick
Hey (were you expecting me to say ‘Ello?) English Nick here!
Man, it's so great to be back on the radio at 97.1 The River.
A little about me….
I grew up in England – yep, I really am English - and lived there for the first 28 years of my life. When you grow up in England you are exposed to all of the great bands that have come out of there like The Who and Led Zeppelin, so getting into Classic Rock radio just came naturally!
I'm from the county of Wiltshire within a stone’s throw from Stonehenge in the village of Stourton near the City of Bath. I've been doing radio in Atlanta since 1999 and I also host the popular Metalsome Live Band Karaoke. My very first concert was ZZ Top headlining the Donington "Monsters Of Rock Festival" in England back in 1985 (also on the bill that day was Marillion, Bon Jovi, Metallica, Ratt and Magum). So as you can see - I’ve been living and breathing classic rock music long before it was "classic". Well, not that long before…..
