Nick J. Brockway, in Guildford, Surrey, England, plays Hammond organ and is featured on The Pretty Things cover of 'Eve Of Destruction', by P.F. Sloan & Steve Barri, and also on the Sutherland Brothers' hit single, 'Arms of Mary' where he embellishes songs with counter-melody flourishes around the vocals changing the tone from one line to the next.
He was quite happy as keyboard player in the London band Crew as they were a nice bunch who let him do what ever he liked altho', the organ was a bit over-worked in that line-up as it was really just a jam with a few arrangements that were never to be played the same twice.
