Hi. I play in a 1-piece "band"—just me, Nigel Cook.

I also play in a 2-piece lineup—The Nigel Cook Band—myself and Dave, my drummer.

And I also play in a 4-piece outfit called The Shams—2 guitars, bass, drums, 3 vocals.

All three bands play a fairly eclectic mix of songs—especially high-energy dance/rock/pop songs from the 60s, 70s, 80s, 90s and 2000s.

I play mainly covers, a fairly eclectic mix of songs, especially high-energy dance/rock/pop songs from the 70s, 80s, 90s and 2000s. I can also play many of my own songs/instrumentals if asked to.

If you want to see/hear how I sound in a “live” situation, follow the link at the foot of this page. You can also see where I’ve been playing recently.

If you’d like to get in touch, please call or text me on 619 394 4902 or email me at nigelpscook@icloud.com
