Nick Dow is a virtuoso guitarist. Nick spent many years playing acoustic blues guitar in the clubs round London. He did his fist blues gig at age fifteen. In the late sixties Nick moved in to Folk Music, bringing the same technical excellence to his repertoire, and making five LP.s

His fine singing and guitar playing have taken him round the world, touring Finland, Sweden, the East coast of America from Boston to Tennessee. If you were to throw a dart at a map of the British Isles the odds are where ever it lands - unless it’s in the middle of a river! - Nick will have performed there; even then he will probably have entertained on a boat that crosses it.

After a serious illness, Nick stopped touring, and returned to his roots with the Blues. Much to his surprise The Nick Dow Blues Band took off in leaps and bounds and from the desire to do a few local gigs came festival work T.V. work and his own Radio Show on BBC Radio Lancashire ‘The Lancashire Bluenotes’.
