Born Nicholas David Kershaw on 1st March 1958 in Bristol, he grew up in Ipswich where he discovered his love for music. He signed with MCA Records in 1983 and, in the September of the same year, “I Won’t Let The Sun Go Down” was released for the first time, reaching a respectable No.47 in the UK charts (achieving a rather more respectable No. 2 when re-released the following summer). This was followed in January 1984 by “Wouldn’t It Be good” which languished gracefully at No.4 in the UK charts for five weeks and was to break Kershaw worldwide. The seminal “Human Racing” album was released in March and achieved platinum sales in many territories. - See more at: http://www.uch.ie/event/evening-nik-kershaw/#sthash.LTH0crYI.dpuf
