Nicol & Marsh was a British soft rock duo composed of Ken Nicol and Peter Marsh.
Career
The duo released two studio albums along with multiple singles. Their initial record, Nicol and Marsh's Easy Street, came out in 1974. Subsequently, they expanded into a trio named Easy Street by adding Richard James Burgess. Under this new formation, they produced two albums: Easy Street in 1976 and Under the Glass in 1977.
Following the release of Easy Street's 1977 album, Nicol & Marsh issued one more album titled Nicol & Marsh in 1978 before dissolving their collaboration. Nicol noted that Marsh was exploring alternative musical paths, resulting in an album with a sound that differed significantly from their earlier work.
Both musicians went on to establish thriving solo careers as singer-songwriters, guitarists, and producers. Ken Nicol became involved with groups such as the Ashley Hutchings Dance Band, the Albion Band, and Steeleye Span, while Peter Marsh contributed to new wave outfits including Twist and Blanket of Secrecy.
