Reviews

Jimmy Bradford, or as most of us know him Jimmy Nail, was born in Longbenton, North Tyneside, in 1954. While “Cowboy Dreams” primarily focuses on personal desires and dreams, it also carries an underlying social commentary. The song encourages individuals to break free from societal expectations and norms, emphasizing the importance of living authentically and pursuing one’s own path. It challenges the status quo and prompts listeners to question their own aspirations. 10. What makes “Cowboy Dreams” a timeless song? When the lads' hut is destroyed by a blaze after Barry's motorbike catches fire at the very end of series one, we see the Scouse arsonist looking on approvingly. Nail played Parson Nathaniel in a twelve week run of the Bill Kenwright production of War of the Worlds alongside David Essex and Michael Praed at the Dominion Theatre, London in 2016. [17]

Nail had been due to reprise his role in the UK production of 'The Last Ship' at Northern Stage on 12 March 2018. The show's producer Karl Sydow stated: "After protracted negotiations carried out in good faith, we regret to announce the production's offer of employment to Jimmy Nail has been withdrawn. Joe McGann will replace him when the show opens in Newcastle in March." Nail said "I was very much looking forward to appearing in Sting's The Last Ship, particularly here in my home city, sadly that's not to be." This is a discography of works by Jimmy Nail.
