The One and Only Nick Curran • 1977-2012

It is 6 October, one year since we lost Nick Curran, unquestionably one of the greatest of all time. In his memory, I present a couple of songs I recorded when Nick was touring with his band The Nite Lifes (Preston Hubbard and Damien Llanes). Enjoy!

This one is from the last show I saw Nick play, this time with the all-star rock group Sorrow Jets. Here is Nick’s take on a Johnny Thunders classic (note my t-shirt in the photo below) .

    THANK YOU for sharing. There’s nothing better than a live recording that captures these oh so special moments in our lives. He truly was a flash of brilliance that will live on in a lot of hearts for a long, long time.
