In the second broadcast from the Arts Chapter in our Careers and Mentoring initiative, we were delighted to welcome back to Clifton OC Nicky Chinn (PH 1962). His is a remarkable story. Leaving Clifton early (due to being diagnosed with severe mental depression) Nicky overcame all adversity to forge a songwriting career with his writing partner Mike Chapman, becoming legendary songwriters to the stars and triple Novello Award-winners. He gave a fascinating evening of reminiscence and revelation: encompassing bands from The Sweet, Suzi Quatro, Smokie,Tony Basil, Exile to Tina Turner and Mud’s 1974 Christmas number one. It was a truly inspiring evening for our budding song-writing pupils and OCs who tuned in from around the world.
