When The Filmer Rips

Nick ‘Cheese’ Colbey goes ham in Indo.

Nick Colbey was once under the employ of Tracks magazine as the publication’s chief filmer and editor. In an era when cover-mount DVD’s were still gobbled up by eager grommets ‘Cheese’ was responsible for cult classics like Wanderlust and Loco Loco, both of which featured Mikey Wright before he really blew up. However, Nick left the mag to become a singer in a Rock and Roll band. That’s a true story. Recently he has been putting in plenty of time on the other side of the camera. Nick rips and certainly knows how to ride the tube. The camera never lies.
