Nicholas Martin B.E.M. 24th October 2023 Concert review.

Nick took the stage and jokingly reminded us all that it had been six years since he was last booked and played for BOKC in 2017, he reckoned to see us again perhaps in 2029! His instrument, the Technics GA3 Organ, and with it he produced an afternoon of music some referred to as ‘brilliant’ it was a concert that at its end prompted a standing ovation. Nick’s music catered for broad audience taste which in turn prompted their interaction and applause throughout.

Nick sent a big thank you to all those who donated that afternoon to his charity; ‘Miracles to believe in’, a total of £92.54 was raised.
