Guy
Guy Nicolson – percussion
A student of tabla, darabouka and congas, Guy studied with some of the UK’s finest Indian classical musicians. He has learnt to adapt his style to Scottish folk music, where he is much in demand with internationally-renowned guitarist Tony MacManus. This restless spark drew him to Moishe’s Bagel, keen as always to combine his innate rhythmic brilliance with the chance to discover new forms and grooves. When he is not playing percussion on every surface he can find, Guy is an expert woodworker, running community workshops and an increasingly bustling Glasgow shop. His responsive genius is the central plank of the group’s unique sound, whilst his take-no-prisoners personality lends the band a welcome edge.
