Nik: did he really play with...

[david hall]

Peter Hammill was there too. Nik was turning up at punk gigs all the time
then. I've got a photo of him and Jimmy Pursey (Sham 69) from 1980. Nik and
Lemmy seemed to have a close connection with the Damned too. John Ellis, now
of the Stranglers, used to play gtr with Peter Hammill. I'll have to dust
off me copy of The Don't Bring Harry ep - there is a live track on it at the
end of which I'm sure someone shouts Hawkwind. I used to love the Stranglers
but they went off the boil way before Hugh left. They're on Channel 4
tonight (Saturday).
J-J B the only punk/new-wave bassist of note.
