GEOFF NICHOLSON info
Geoff Nicholson
(guitar)
To me, Geoff Nicholson is a great, underrated guitar
player, judging from early East of Eden albums. But I can't find more info
about him. Any help with info will be very appreciated, as always!
East of Eden was an atypical band formed by violin
player Dave Arbus in Brighton in 1967.
They released Mercator projected. After
that, Dave Dufort and Steve York left. This was the new lineup:
Dave
Arbus (violin)
Geoff Nicholson (guitar)
Andy Sneddon (bass)
Ron
Caines (sax)
Geoff Britton (drums)
Their 2nd album was Snafu. Then, Ron
left the band. This was around 1970.
At least, two compilations have been released by
the band. In 1971, a compilation was released, Jig-a-jig,
comprising tracks from their 1st and 2nd albums. Another one was World
of East of Eden.
And now, we have a 20-years
gap! Help here, please!
In 1997, East of Eden comes
to life again with 3 original members:
Dave
Arbus (violin)
Geoff Nicholson (guitar)
Ron
Caines (sax)
They release a new album, Kalipse,
with help from bassist Jan Lehne. Due to moderate success, they release
a new one, called Armadillo.
