Book out now….
NEWSFLASH For Nicky’s German-speaking fans, Julian Dawson will be hosting a one-hour special about his life and music, May 22nd on Germany’s NDR Radio.
This website was conceived as a tribute to an unforgettable musician. It’s time to add a current News page, because there is suddenly so much happening that fans of Nicky’s music will want to know.
The biggest news is that after 10 years work and 130 personal interviews (including Keith Richards, Pete Townshend, Ray Davies, Steve Miller and dozens of Nicky’s close friends and accociates), singer-songwriter Julian Dawson’s biography of Nicky is finally available.
German publisher Random House was quickest, so the first version of the book is out now as a beautiful hardback (and e-book)…in German! It will be followed after the Summer by a UK hardback version and in March 2011 by a US paperback. You can click on the cover image for a link to Amazon Germany if you’d like to order or inspect the German book.
The publication date of May 10th 2010 makes it almost parallel with the re-issue of the Rolling Stones classic double album ‘Exile On Main St.’, with 10 extra tracks, many of them no doubt featuring some ‘Diamond Tiaras’ from Mr. Hopkins.

Thanks to Moira Hopkins for making this website possible.
