Sam Cameron's Procolpaedia

N

NAZZ, THE

Classic US garage-punk-psych band who supported Procol Harum and spawned the self proclaiming 'wizard true star' Todd Rundgren who played with Gary on a Ringo Starr tour.

NEWMAN, RANDY
Sardonic singer-songwriter and fan of Oasis: also the orchestrator of Lieber and Stoller's last major song Is That All There Is.

Songwriter admired by Keith Reid: see here to read that the admiration is mutual. Keith's words to The Devil Came From Kansas were inspired by the first line of a song The Beehive State on the first Newman album being : "so you're the senator from Kansas"

NIRVANA (UK)
Whimsical late-60s-early-70s duo of Greek and Irish origins. Also had Guy Stevens' connections. Supported Procol on US gigs.

NIRVANA
(USA) Pioneers of Grunge.

One of Keith Reid's non Procol lyrics is an ode to Nirvana leader Kurt Cobain inspired by his suicide [see here]
