At first a visitor, now a resident, Nigel has long been a featured player in New Zealand’s music scene, particularly in Auckland, playing guitars, banjo, mandolin, bass - indeed, almost anything with strings - with the Nairobi Trio, the Fondue Set, Whirimako Black, the Jews Brothers, the Blue Bottom Stompers, Below the Bassline, Jonathan Besser’s Bravura, Trevor Reekie and Tom Ludvigson’s Trip Project and his own Snorkel, among others. In parallel to extending his ‘pure’ stringed instrument vocabulary, Nigel has pursued his deep interest in guitar-triggered electronic and loop-based work which he calls collectively his ‘science project’ - an array of electronics which, when addressed through his virtuosic guitar creates improvisations which are as ephemeral as they are mesmerising.

This performance will take place at the TV3 Garden Stage at the Festival Garden in Aotea Square.
