NICKY SIMPER - BASS GUITAR AND VOCAL HARMONY:

"Born November 3, 1945, in Norwood Green, Southall, brown-eyed, black-haired Nicky began playing the guitar around age 13. He ran through nearly a dozen music teachers, before he realized that self-expression was what he was seeking, and no one could teach him that. He switched from guitar to bass when he found himself in a group that was in sore need of a bass player. Nicky is 5'10" tall, and has the distinction of being the only member of the group with a once-broken nose." Flip, 1969
