Ken Nicol's Lockstep

Playing with Ken in LOCKSTEP are: Paul Burgess (10CC) - drums, Norman Helm - bass, Wendy Ross - violin (Magna Carta)

Formidable and painstakingly acquired skills on both acoustic and electric guitars, a very high class player indeed. Flexible too. He seems comfortable with whatever style is tossed at him. Martin Carthy

I first met Ken when we collaborated on an Ashley Hutchings song on his last album. I was amazed at Ken's beautiful ragtime guitar style. He has such a great way of delivering a story and gently laying down the punch line. Humour, great guitar skill and the right drop of humility, and a passion for right, proper, good music. Ralph McTell

Ken Nicol is a consummate musician. A guitarist of broad scope, a sensitive singer and an intelligent writer of songs with stirring melodies. A musical paragon. Maddy Prior

It's difficult for me to imagine a more talented all rounder than Ken; both as singer and guitarist. Ashley Hutchings Prodigiously talented. Clive Pownceby (BBC Radio 2) KEN NICOL'S "INITIAL VARIATIONS"
