Nigel Lewis - The Bands and Tunes !

Nigel Lewis .....The Guv'nor .

Nigel Lewis to me is a legend !! a man who took rockabilly by the scruff of the neck (along with band mates Paul Fenech & Mark Robertson) in the late 70's early 80's, gave it a fat lip and a bloody nose but above all that, a new name, a new sound, Psychobilly was the monster creation, a monster to this day that roams the earth seeking out the blood of anyone who stands in it's way ! 

So here is a list of bands he played in and songs written and sung by Nigel . I haven't listed every compilation with the same songs as it gets a bit complicated, so have stuck to the 1st releases, live recordings and seriously important compilations.
