Nick played at the Haworth Arms here in Hull when my dad's band was resident there. No idea if he saw him or not though.
I was just looking at the short film of an unknown 1970s festival and it does seem to be him walking by. You don't see his face and the film has a haunting, lonely quality to it...
It's apparently likely that Nick did perform once on BBC TV but there is no surviving footage from this, but you never know..
There is also some footage of Nick as a child which you can see in the documentary A Skin Too Few on Youtube.
All adds to the mythos I guess.
I recently became obsessed with an Edwardian artist named Austin Osman Spare.
He was hugely talented yet ignored and forgotten. His is a fairly sad story too, in a different way, and no recording of him has survived.
Apparently he was interviewed for a BBC radio programme but only a transcript survives.
