Artist: NICK JACKSON BAND
Catalogue Number: GRASSCD072
Price £10

The Nick Jackson Band was forged out of the smouldering ashes of the acclaimed 80s/90s Manchester band Mirrors Over Kiev. Having released an album and several singles on Manchester labels Imaginary Records, Playtime Records and Run River Records. Many former Mirrors Over Kiev releases have become rare and valuable classics and can still be found, watch this space.

Co-founder and Mirrors Over Kiev frontman and songsmith Nick Jackson eventually sought blessed release from endless European touring and record company and management palaver.

While some band personnel explored other projects, Nick Jackson deescalated and formed the organic and dynamic Nick Jackson Band. Calling on the cohesive and robust rhythm section of John Wilkinson (bass) and brother/ex Mirrors member Ben Jackson (drums/vocals), Nick fashioned a new sound to further develop his earthy & poignant song writing skills.

The first album Miracles was released in 2000 to huge critical acclaim culminating in headline performances at the Edinburgh festivals of 2003/2004. "Miracles" established the benchmark for future projects and called upon the talents of many fellow musicians from Nick's native Northern town of Bolton.
