The band extensively toured Europe, the UK and the US, and Nick appears on at least twelve of Hackett’s albums to date. The latter half of the 80's was spent doing session work with many diverse recording artistes such as China Crisis, Renaissance, George Martin, Mungo Jerry, Johhny Mars, Cilla Black, Jose Carrerras, Brian May, Richie Havens, Bonnie Tyler, Mike Batt, Classix Nouveaux, David Essex, Pete Bardens (Camel), Duncan Browne, Chris Rea, and Colin Blunstone. The 1990s saw album chart successes for Nick’s co-productions of the Project D synthesiser albums. More recently, he has achieved platinum sales for his productions and arrangements for the internationally acclaimed series of Pan Pipe Moods albums, released by Polygram records. Nick has released three solo albums, Straight On Till Morning in 1993, Inhaling Green in 1999 and Hexameron in 2004.
