Nick Farren – LEAD GUITAR & OCCASIONAL BACKING SHOUTING

Influences

After starting early on a plastic Beatles guitar, spent my teenage years in my bedroom firmly believing at various times to be either the 6th member of the Eagles, or the latest guitarist in Thin Lizzy or Lynyrd Skynyrd. Now languishing in a middle aged haze of 70s rock, Springsteen….. and a bit of Country.

Tech Stuff

Custom Shop Strat and Telecaster, Les Paul Standard Gold Top, ’69 Telecaster Thinline, all thru a temperamental Fender Hot Rod Deluxe and old school analogue pedals…..
