Focussing his music in theatre — where, as an actor-musician, he has written and recorded songs for shows — Up the Hill is Nick’s first album recorded, as it were, just as himself. It has a fun tone as well as something of a whimsical slant. It ranges from folk-style, through light swing numbers with echoes of the 1920s-30s to gentle satire and music hall. It includes two songs inspired by figures from Greek mythology: Charon and the other, lending the album title, Sisyphus.
