Bassist Nigel Harrison was born on April 24, 1951 in Stockport,
Cheshire, England. Nigel lived in Princes Risborough near Aylesbury,
Buckinghamshire in the early 70s. He was the bassist for the local band
Farm and later both toured and recorded with the group Silverhead from
1972 to 1974. In November, 1977 Harrison joined the hugely popular and
innovative New Wave band Blondie and remained a member of the group
until 1982. Moreover, Nigel co-wrote the hit Blondie songs "One Way or
Another" and "Union City Blue." Harrison was the bassist for the band
Chequered Past from 1982 to 1984. He composed the score for the
low-budget action film "Nightforce" and was the music supervisor for
the quirky comedy "Tapeheads." In 1997 Nigel rejoined Blondie, but was
quickly dropped from the group. More recently Harrison has played bass
for the experimental power pop band the Grabs.
