NICK MAGNUS
(Keyboards)
“Music’s potential to communicate ideas and touch the soul should be harnessed to the full, and there can surely be no bigger idea worth communicating than the dangers facing the only habitable planet we know of. I’m honoured to have been invited by Truey to contribute to this important project, and to help alert the world to facts that profoundly affect each and every one of us.”
Composer, keyboard player and producer Nick Magnus is best known for his work with ex-Genesis guitarist Steve Hackett from 1978 to 1989, providing his keyboard talents to at least twelve of Hackett’s albums to date, as well as extensively touring Europe, the UK and the US. The latter half of the 80’s was spent doing session work with many diverse recording artistes such as China Crisis, Renaissance, George Martin, Mungo Jerry, Johhny Mars, Cilla Black, Jose Carrerras, Brian May, Richie Havens, Bonnie Tyler, Mike Batt, Classix Nouveaux, David Essex, Pete Bardens (Camel), Duncan Browne, Chris Rea, and Colin Blunstone. He has also delivered lectures and seminars on many aspects of music technology and music production, whilst also writing diverse articles on these subjects for the music press.
