Nic Jones Interview

An interview here recorded for my radio program Retrospectives in Melbourne, Australia with legendary and influential English songwriter and guitar player Nic Jones. Aired on Casey Radio in Melbourne.

Good interview, and for me one of the only times I’ve heard Nic speak, so thank you. As a guitarist I’ve wanted to emulate his percussive style, so it was great to hear his advice: don’t tickle it, hit it!

I love this interview.
So wonderful to hear Nic doing so well.
Penguin Eggs is one the greatest folk albums of all time.
I never got to see nic live so i enjoy his records like everyone else.
What a blessing to have him with us and for you to get to speak to him.
I put him right up there with dylan,paul brady,john martyn and bert jansh and richard thompson.
Much love from ireland!
You are a treasure.

I knew Nic, just before his accident. He was a member of March Chess Club along with me and my father. Being a punk I wasn't too taken with his style of playing - now of course I recognise the pure talent that he had and wish I had made more of knowing him - he once offered to give me a lesson but like an eejit I turned him down!! His infectious cheeky personality shines through on the recording. Great guy.

Nic is one of my favourite artists. Lovely to hear his speaking voice having listened to his songs for so many years. I put him alongside Paul Simon and James Taylor in the feeling he communicates through voice and guitar.

Thanks for this! Lovely to hear Nic

I've not heard this before. Nic has always cracked me up! He is a complete loon! A very clever and funny man. Ridiculously talented, although he wouldn't say so. And really lovely to hear Julia's voice.❤

Yep. Nice to hear Julia at the beginning sorting stuff out.
