Acclaimed folk guitarist, singer and fiddler
Nic Jones is involved in a serious road traffic accident on the road between Peterborough and March in Cambridgeshire, England, UK, Europe, after a gig at Glossop Folk Club. Jones, tired, inadvertently drives into a lorry pulling out of Whittlesea brickworks, suffering serious injuries, including many broken bones and brain damage. He requires intensive care and hospitalisation for a total of eight months. His injuries will leave him with permanent physical co-ordination problems, unable to play the guitar as well as before, and no longer able to play the fiddle at all. The accident effectively ends his career as a touring and recording professional musician.
