   About Nickytwister aka Nick Owen
Thanks for checking my page! I'm a bass-for-hire who's worked with some great people; DIRTY VEGAS, recording on their second album 'One' and also performing for them live, including album launches, instores and two BBC radio sessions from Maida Vale including Pete Tong's Essential Selection show. I've been a member of RONAN KEATING's band, playing in the UK and Europe in front of crowds of up to 100,000 people, doing live TV, album launch and regular festival gigs aswell as single promotions on Top Of The Pops, Parkinson, CdUK and so on. I've also toured with rock legend BONNIE TYLER, playing dates in the UK, Ireland and Scandinavia. However I can usually be found pounding my four string in the multi-faceted DESIGNABAND (inc Carwash, Sway, The Funky Divas, Phatlady, 80s Phantazie etc) We play all over the world, often getting out of hand but always having a fantastic laugh. We have also had the honour of playing live with legendary performers including SMOKEY ROBINSON, ASHFORD&SIMPSON and DENIECE WILLIAMS. I also write articles for music gear magazines, work freelance for the musical instrument distribution company House Music and occasionally do guest lectures at the ACM in Guildford spreading the word of bass. Gear-wise, I'm endorsed by Ashdown Engineering amplification, Elites strings and Ernie Ball/Musicman basses............but I still love my old Fenders! .. ..>
