So he set up his first recording studio, writing, recording, producing and mastering music for BBC, CBBC, BBC USA & Canada, ITV, CNN, Thames TV, RTE, Sky, Sony/ATV, the Sunday Mail and Mirror and an advertising and promotional album for Malibu. He broke the mould by writing and producing a Hard Core Rave track for the Saturday Morning game show ‘Run The Risk’ which still goes down in television history as being one of the most successful kids game shows ever.

In 2006 Jet Harris (former founder member of The Shadows) asked Nigel to produce an album for him. After giving it some thought he went to see Jet performing live and after hearing that ‘magic sound’ of the sixties, Nigel agreed to go ahead with the only stipulation being that it would be new and original material.

He formed his own label, ‘Crazy Lighthouse Records’ and put out the first single ‘San Antonio’ in the summer of 2007. It sold in UK, Denmark, Sweden, Norway, Holland, Australia, New Zealand and the USA and was followed up by the release of Jet’s album ‘The Journey’ which was sadly to be the last of this iconic bass players works.
