Liverpool Sound and Vision Rating 8.5/10

There is nobody quite like Grant Nicholas for when it comes to being completely sincere about the way he feels about the world at any given time, it is what makes him such an endearing musician to watch and an interesting man to listen to. From highs that have the air of despondency strewn through them, to lows which house a positive aspect so unshakable that it grips the heart muscle and aches in time with each plucked string, no emotion is ever left unturned and in his latest release, Black Clouds, the emotions are once again left out in the open to breathe.
