NIGEL'S NEW SINGLE "That's Why God Made Tribute Bands" drops on all major streaming platforms on March 7

The track features lead guitar from Jamiroquai's Rob Harris

and drums by Paul Beavis of the Andy Fairweather Low band.

It had been described by one regional radio presenter as 'a sort of Subterranean Homesick Blues for the Strictly generation'

and by Nigel as 'my new single'.

"Nigel Stonier is the whole deal. Unreservedly recommended."

Couldn't be more pleased with this review from Simon Jones at Spiral Earth.

"Sometimes albums arrive, from the off you know they’re fully formed and considered. This is one.

After the opening track you just know everything is right, after the first four tracks you might consider this to be a four star album, by the time you’ve heard it through, it’s five star all the way.

We here at Spiral Earth don’t band about the five star rating loosely, but believe me, this is the best thing I’ve heard in weeks."
