Here’s a never before released demo version of Nick’s song, The Heron, from 2000. This track appeared on Nick’s 2001 solo release, Rumours of Snow.  The Heron is a perfect observation of the countryside, dating from when Nick lived in a remote location in the borders.

The Rumours of Snow sleeve notes state  “For a while, I lived in Wormiston, above Eddleston in the Borders, just by the black and white Meldon Hills which face each other across a glen dotted with iron age and roman forts and burying places”.
