Nelson - an NMA legend who will be hugely missed both on stage, on recordings and in person. A smashing chap who always has time for a chat with fans. I went to my first NMA gig in October 1990 so I've only ever seen Nelson on bass live - it'll be sad not seeing him there but I'm sure whoever joins NMA as the new (not replacement) bassist is going to be just great too.

Nelson - I wish you all the very best for the future and thanks so much for all you've given us and for always living up to your real name. You're a great, great chap and we love you! Keep on rockin'!

What they all said.

What will it be like with a new bassist, given apart from JS you've gone through such a long run with the band Nelson?

Thanks for the great riffs and as has been said elsewhere your rhythmic but harmonic genius (or summat like that, I think it's the right sentiment, whatever).

We chatted pre Endorseit in Dorset and I would thoroughly second all that has been said about you being a top guy, and would also wish you all luck in whatever you choose to pursue. If it's at all musical, your clear skill and prowess on stringed instruments will out, I'm sure.

Our collective loss, but good fortune for the future fella.

As usual - NMA fans have said it perfectly in the posts above - 22 years, over a thousand gigs and no idea how many miles on the road - thank you!!

As a fellow Colchester resident, I'll look out for you in The Bull!!

After all these nice comments that are oh so true am I really the first one that wants to start swearing?
And please don't get me wrong cause of course I agree with all the comments and yes, I wish Nelson
the very best with everything and yes, everyone is allowed to leave a job - no matter what, it's his
decision and it's a good one, I am sure of it.
Still ... the first thing that got into my mind was "what the f*ck" ??????

Somehow it feels like a weird NMA year and it has only just begon ...
But then 'weird' can also be a positive thing so that's what we're aiming for, I guess.

Nelson - no hard feelings what so ever, guess I was just shocked and surprised, speachless.
All the best, I do hope to hear the Mermaid song somewhere, sometime.
Take good care and thanks!!

Nelson was and, I am sure still is a thoroughly nice bloke. When he moved to Bradford after joining the band we took him on many a night out to The Smithy, Rios and who can forget the wonderful Champages?

Good luck for the future fella

Nelson, you will be sorely missed. Thanks for helping to make NMA so special over the last 22 years. Hope to see you again sometime.
