Nigel Pegrum

Nigel John Pegrum (born 22 January 1949) is a music producer and former drummer, most known for playing on many albums by Steeleye Span.

[1] Nigel Pegrum played drums with an early line-up of the Small Faces, then with Lee Grant And The Capitols before joining Spice, who subsequently changed their name to Uriah Heep and replaced him with a drummer who had a heavier style of playing, but not before recording the "Lansdowne Tapes".

He remained with Steeleye Span for 17 years, then moved to Australia where he has recorded world-beat albums with aboriginal musicians.

In 1979, Pegrum joined up with Steeleye Span bassist Rick Kemp to create Plant Life Records.

Pegrum produced two albums of the German folk band Lorbass (Wie es uns gefällt in 1979 and Wohl bekomm's in 1981, both on Burlington Records) on which he played drums as a guest musician.
