Rude Boy music for today!
Nick started the King Hammond project in 1987 (while he was still a member of Bad Manners) he recorded 3 songs Skaville UK, King Hammond Shuffle and Right On King Hammond for use on various Ska compilation albums with the idea of getting the King Hammond brand of music known on the Ska and Reggae scene. The plan worked very nicely for the King with the tracks getting radio play and good reviews in the press.Nick was also the long-time bassist in reformed Selecter along with original band members Pauline Black and Neol Davies being in a band like the Selecter demands the commitment of time and energy so the King Hammond project took a back seat whilst the Selecter were touring and recording.
Described by Nick as 'Rude Boy Music for today' the King mixes classic Skinhead Reggae rhythms, penning lyrics to match the music ranging from knife and gun crime through to politicians, infidelity, London Markets and pure love songs.
