Nicky Hopkins played as a session piano player with a lot of big groups including The Beatles The Rolling Stones The Kinks and more.He was born in Ealing but if I remember correctly moved to live and work in the US where he died.I remember there being a collection made to erect a bench in his memory in Perivale.This is a Crowd Funder so that the appropriate music can be added to the film that has been made about his life.I know that another film had the same problem - the high amount of the licence fees for the music to go with the film - perhaps because of the high profile of those bands? If you are interested in local musicians and music of this era - do consider whether you could support this film - and have a look at the crowdfunding page on the website.And I found this which gives you an idea of all the records that you would find his name on the record sleeve:https://ultimateclassicrock.com/15-classics-nicky-hopkins/
