As promised last week Sailor is very proud to announce it’s new lead singer and guitarist today.
He is Nick Parvin
Based in Kent in South East England, Nick has been playing music for as long as he can remember. A long lasting love of all things musical has seen Nick play in many bands and in many styles. The 90’s saw him playing a lot of funk and acid jazz leading eventually to securing a recording deal with his Indie/rock band band Silverstone. This period is where he learned the art of music production and song-writing and then went on to write music for BBC and Channel 4 television. Nick has since been playing and singing live with his corporate function band Mojomachine which has taken him all over the UK and Europe. He is delighted to have been asked to join Sailor as remembers vividly watching the band appear on Top of the Pops in 1976 and wondering just exactly what that ‘Piano Contraption’ was!
After many weeks of rehearsals he now knows!
Tomorrow, Sailor fans in Weiswasser Germany (near Poland!) will be able to meet Nick and see (& hear) exactly for themselves why Henry Grant and Phil are incredibly lucky to have found such a great singer, extremely talented musician, all-round lovely guy and ‘damned fine-looking chap’ to join them in Sailor and someone who has already been dubbed “Sailor’s New Nick!“

Hi. I´m a Sailor fan since 1975. And of course i still am. But why does nobody tell the real reason why george does not come back just as a singer. George said he talked to you all. Is it just because you don´t come out with new songs? Well, Peter and Oliver did also a good job, great. Nick will be good too, but Sailor “is” Georg, Henry, Grant and you like all the groups of 70´s 80´s and 90´s. So best wishes for the future from
Sailor-Fan
