Thursday 13th November 2003 - Music Biz : Life After Fame Academy
This piece looked at Nigel's brush with fame in the BBC reality tv series, and showed clips from the series and from the sucessful Fame Academy Live Tour that followed in April of 2003. Nigel then went on to tell us a little about what he's been up to since. He talked about putting a backing band together so that he can do gigs and tour, he has been writing his own songs, and has produced a CD single. He mentioned that he has a website. He also told us about a childrens story that he has done some music for.

There was also some footage of Nigel and David Sneddon working on a new song together. It was good to see David helping out his old Fame Academy buddy.

One other thing to mention, Nigel has aquired an eyebrow ring, which I will admit came as a bit of a shock... each to their own!

Thursday 27th November 2003 - Music Biz : Interview with Paul Carrack
Nigel introduced the interview. Mr Carrack, who was the lead singer for Mike and the Mechanics, amongst other accolades, talked about how he enjoys gigs and touring, and that he wouldn't want to compete in the current music industry. Mr Carrack is doing some gigs over the next few months, so keep an eye out!

Nigel summarised at the end that Mr Carrack was worth going to see live.

Thursday 4th December 2003 - Music Biz : Interview with Marcus Cliffe
Nigel introduced the interview on stage at a venue where Mr Cliffe was do to gig later. They talked about how Mr Cliffe got into music. He was originally a piano player, but got interested in bass guitar at school, and as one of only three bass players there he became somewhat sort after. Mr Cliffe has played for many top artists, including Mark Knopfler, and 'Baby Spice' Emma Buntin. He also has his own material out there. He recommends a banana as a mid concert snack when performing!!

Thursday 11th December 2003 - Music Biz : The Music Factory
Nigel gets to take a guided tour around 'The Music Factory', which was responsible for the 'Jive Bunny' tracks. They couldn't get any backing from any record companies so they set up their own company and released the singles themselves, which turned out to be a great success. They have since expanded the business and now produce karaoke CD's amongst other things.

Nigel ended his visit by being edited onto an old black and white video, playing his guitar.
