Nigel Holmes
Nigel has been playing music for many years and has had great success with Hekety. However in
this line-up his bass guitar has remained on the stand and his six-string talents have come to
the fore. He draws influences from Gavin Davenport and James Fagan, and has melded experience
from a wide range of bands with whom he has played. He also enjoys English, French and
Scandinavian dance. Nigel also plays with the "Glam Rock Ceilidh" band, Glory Strokes.
