A rare glimpse at Nick Beggs laying down a Stick track in a recording session for artist Rob Reed of the band Magenta. The track is titled "Beneath the Waves", and will be released in 2011. The engineer in the clip is Jakko Jakszyk known for his work with King Crimson and Level 42.

I really, really like Nick Beggs...his musicality, sense of humor, and humanity. And, he wrote and played the best, sexiest bass line of the 1980s, in my humble opinion. Nick, I wish you many more years of playing music -- both for yourself (ourselves) and Kajagoogoo. Cheers, mate!

Never ceases to impress me this guy. What gets me is not only his incredible skill to play the technical stuff but to also make that blend seamlessly into the music he's playing without being brash, it's totally in keeping with the feel of the music.

At the time of Kajagoogoo ('83) i was a 16 yo narrow-minded rock/metal fan, but i could still see the talent that Nick had as a bassist. All these years later, although i am still a 'rocker' in my heart of hearts, i love all kinds of music, and have grown to absolutely love Kajagoogoo, and have to say that the rest of the band are no slouches, either. Superb musicians and a great band! I am so pleasantly surprised how Nick has crossed-over into my world of rock/prog etc. in recent times, and his talents have only intensified over the ensuing years! As i say, Beggsy has been a hero of mine since 1983, although i was fucked if i were to admit it at the time!! Ha! Keep up the amazing work, Nick... \m/ (:o)
