Album Notes

Nick Johns is primarily a singer, he grew up singing with garage bands through his
teenage years and never took it all too seriously. Just having fun and partying like
most youths. It wasn't til' a work accident left him housebound that he decided to return
to his earlier love. Frustrated with relying on other musicians to turn up for rehearsals
etc. he taught himself to play guitar and started working the pub scene. It wasn't long
before he started writing songs while playing covers to make ends meet. He'd dabbled in
writing before but nothing like he proceeded to write. Still working the pub scene as a
solo performer and in a duo with guitarist Tim Spencer soon acquired a healthy following
and were sought after by many establishments. Nick also ran a musicians jam night at a
local hotel which over a period of three and a half years built into not only a successful
venture, but a great social event on a weekly basis. Nick made many friends during those
three or so years, many feature in his recordings or as friends on this page.
In late 2004 Nick had had enough of the city life, and made the decision to sell up his
home in suburbia to invest in a caravan and travel. Setting out and leaving his family
and friends behind was a strange feeling and at sometimes lonely. But it was during these
next few years that Nick would grow on a personal level, as a writer and musician.
In October 2005 Nick met his now wife Nadja. It was quite an experience. Spiritually,
emotionally, a growing experience for these two human beings. They set off traveling
together two weeks after first meeting. To cut a long story short they are still together
and their life itself has been inspiration to pen many a song. Nick has written songs
fueled by love, anger, hurt, pride and many other emotions or situations in his life or
experience.
