Biography
Thanks to a father who flew Lancaster bombers in the Royal Air Force, Nigel Hutchinson grew up in various parts of England, and did time in Malta. After leaving school he played drums in band The Bo Street Runners. Music legend Mick Fleetwood later took over the sticks, so that Hutchinson could concentrate on a day job as a press officer at the London arm of Walt Disney Productions. He went on to join a company formed by David Hemmings, star of classic swinging 60s movie Blow-Up.

“We actually made our money back in New Zealand. To get your money back to the producers, you've actually got to do about three times in the box office ... so it was a real success story.”
