Nick McCabe was the
youngest of three children and had a life greatly influenced by music, He
lead a normal life training to be a Quantity surveyor until he met Richard
Ashcroft at Winstanley college near Wigan. Ashcroft heard McCabes guitar
jamming and thought he McCabe could "almost make the guitar talk". McCabe
then united with Ashcroft along with Simon Jones and Peter Salisbury to form
the Verve.Musically
Nick has always expressed his fondness of synthesizers and explained his 'psychadelic'
sound as trying to make a guitar sound like a synthesizer by using effects
pedals and Valve Amps.
Since his last performance with The Verve, Nick has been keeping a very
low media / musical profile, apart from a couple of projects.
He has currently remixed a single for 'The Music' but it is unknown what
musical collaborations he is to participate in in the future. The last
project in which he was involved as far as we know, was as producer of a
local Bristol band called "Spencer". He also joined on stage
Bristol band "The Nova Saints" to play the last song in July of 2006.
