Nick was playing in the splendid King Jerklews with artist John Campbell and Jack was beginning his rock’n’roll journey with Hunters & Collectors.

They spent a decade as good buddies but they were passing ships in the rock’n’roll night as the Hunnas moved beyond the local scene and became one of Australia’s iconic bands, touring relentlessly nationally and overseas. Nick,in the meanwhile, was plying his trade aseverybody’s first choice country guitarist around Melbourne. From Intoxica to Lisa Miller’sTruckasaurus to The Moonee Valley Drifters, Nick was the debonaire and brilliant right handman to many a lead singer.

When Jack finally bit the bullet and started recording his own music in 1994, he turned toNick and they’ve stuck fast ever since. Under the guise of Jack Howard & The Long LostBrothers, their duo Nickeljack and as part of Jack’s great Australian music project EpicBrass, Jack and Nick have forged a dynamic and prolific musical partnership.
