James George "Jimmy"/"Jimmie" Nicol, is a British drummer, best known for playing some tour dates with The Beatles. When Ringo Starr collapsed and was hospitalised on 3 June 1964 with tonsillitis on the eve of The Beatles' 1964 Australasian tour, manager Brian Epstein and producer George Martin discussed the possibility of using a stand-in drummer rather than cancel part of the tour. Martin suggested Jimmy Nicol, as he had recently recorded a Tommy Quickly session with him.

  • James George "Jimmy"/"Jimmie" Nicol, is a British drummer, best known for playing some tour dates with The Beatles. When Ringo Starr collapsed and was hospitalised on 3 June 1964 with tonsillitis on the eve of The Beatles' 1964 Australasian tour, manager Brian Epstein and producer George Martin discussed the possibility of using a stand-in drummer rather than cancel part of the tour. Martin suggested Jimmy Nicol, as he had recently recorded a Tommy Quickly session with him. Nicol had also drummed on a budget label album of Beatle covers called "Beatlemania" and knew the songs. The whole thing happened very quickly, from a phone call to attend a run-through at Abbey Road Studios to packing his bags all in the same day. Nicol wore Ringo Starr's suit on stage, and apparently needed clothes pegs to make the jacket fit. His first show with The Beatles took place on 4 June in Copenhagen, Denmark. He played a further nine shows, until Starr returned to the group in Melbourne, Australia, on 14 June. Nicol said he was "praying he [Starr] would get well at the same time I was hoping he would not want to come back. " He was not able to say goodbye to The Beatles as they were still asleep when he left, and Nicol did not want to disturb them. At the airport, Brian Epstein presented him with a cheque (probably for around £500, although much bolder figures have been quoted) and a gold Eterna-matic wrist watch inscribed: "From The Beatles and Brian Epstein to Jimmy - with appreciation and gratitude. " After his time with The Beatles, Nicol and his band, The Shubdubs, released the single "Husky"/"Don't Come Back", followed by "Humpty Dumpty"/"Night Train", neither of which was a commercial success. Nicol was reunited with The Beatles when his band was set down on a bill with The Beatles and The Fourmost. They performed on 12 July 1964 at the Hippodrome Theatre in Brighton. During Nicol's stay with The Beatles, John Lennon and Paul McCartney were constantly questioning him about how he was coming along, and his answer would always be, "It's getting better. " A couple of years later, McCartney was walking his dog, Martha, with Hunter Davies, when the sun came out and Paul commented that the weather was "getting better," and began to laugh, remembering Nicol. This event inspired the song "Getting Better" on 1967's Sgt. Pepper's Lonely Hearts Club Band. On Let It Be tapes from 1969-01-12, Paul comments, "I think you'll find we're not going abroad. 'Cause Ringo just said he doesn't want to go abroad. You know, he put his foot down. Although Jimmy Nicol might go abroad."
  • Jimmy Nicol ist ein britischer Schlagzeuger, der 1964 für neun Konzerte der Beatles für den erkrankten Ringo Starr einsprang und über Nacht weltbekannt wurde. Als Ringo Starr am 3. Juni 1964 kurzfristig erkrankte, entschlossen sich der Beatles-Produzent George Martin und ihr Manager Brian Epstein, Ringo durch Jimmy Nicol zu ersetzen, um eine unmittelbar bevorstehende Tournee nicht absagen zu müssen. George Martin hatte erst kurz zuvor mit Nicol bei einer Aufnahme mit Tommy Quickly zusammen gearbeitet. Nicol wurde zu Hause in London angerufen und fand sich nur eine Stunde später in den Abbey Road Studios ein, um mit den verbliebenden drei Beatles ihr Live-Programm einzustudieren. An einer anschließenden Aufnahmesession nahm Nicol allerdings nicht teil. Schon am nächsten Tag spielte er mit Paul McCartney, John Lennon und George Harrison in Kopenhagen. Es war nicht einmal Zeit, Jimmy einzukleiden; daher trug er einfach Ringos Anzug, der ihm allerdings nicht passte. Es folgten acht weitere Konzerte, bis Ringo Starr wieder genesen war und am 14. Juni 1964 zu seinen Bandmitgliedern für ein Konzert in Melbourne zurückkehrte. Jimmy Nicol veröffentlichte in der Folgezeit zwei Singles mit seiner Band The Shubdubs, die jedoch nicht erfolgreich waren.

  • James George Nicol, best kjent som Jimmy Nicol, er en britisk trommeslager. Han ble straks berømt da han fikk vikariere som trommeslager i The Beatles, etter at Ringo Starr om aftenen 3. juni 1964 måtte gi opp starten på Europaturneen og kaste inn håndkleet. Ringo hadde fått betente mandler og måtte opereres. Jimmy Nicol som den gang spilte med Georgie Fame and the Blue Flames fulgte verdensturneen (The Beatles' World Tour) fra 4. til 15. juni.
  • Jimmy Nicol é um baterista britânico, mais conhecido por ter sido um integrante temporário dos The Beatles. Um dia antes dos Beatles saírem em digressão, a 3 de Junho de 1964 pela Escandinávia, Holanda e Austrália, Ringo Starr foi vítima de uma faringite que o levou a ser hospitalizado. Sendo muito em cima da hora, e sem possibilidades para adiar a digressão, George Martin sugeriu um baterista de estúdio para substituir Ringo, seria ele Jimmy Nicol, então com 24 anos. Apesar da relutância dos outros três Beatles em partir sem Ringo, tanto George Martin quanto Brian Epstein conseguiram convencê-los. Jimmy já estava familiarizado com as músicas do grupo, tendo tocado bateria numa compilação denominada Beatlemania; e após ter recebido um corte de cabelo "beatle" partiu com o grupo em digressão. Jimmy Nicol também ficou conhecido por ter "contribuído" para a música "Getting Better", que viria a ser lançada em 1967 no álbum Sgt. Pepper's Lonely Hearts Club Band, não em termos de composição, mas pela sua típica resposta "It's getting better" toda vez que um dos três Beatles lhe perguntava como estava indo. Depois de recuperado, Ringo voltou para a banda no dia 15 de Junho em Melbourne, Austrália. Pela sua contribuição, Jimmy Nicol recebeu 500 libras esterlinas e um relógio de ouro Eternamatic com a gravação "From the Beatles and Brian Epstein to Jimmy - with appreciation and gratitude". Após ter substituído Ringo, Jimmy e seu grupo Shubdubs gravaram um single denominado Husky/Don't Come Back mas que não teve sucesso comercial. Nas palavras do próprio Jimmy: "Os rapazes foram muito gentis mas eu me sentia como um intruso. Eles me aceitaram, mas não podemos entrar assim num grupo como aquele -- eles têm sua própria atmosfera, seu próprio senso de humor. Algo que não é fácil para alguém de fora se adaptar."
  • James George "Jimmy" Nicol, född 3 augusti 1939, är en brittisk trummis. Nicol är mest känd för sitt korta inhopp i The Beatles under gruppens världsturné 1964, när Ringo akut hamnat på sjukhus och opererat bort tonsillerna. Han spelade med Beatles på konserter i Danmark, Nederländerna, Hong Kong och Australien, innan den tillfrisknade Ringo Starr reste ikapp och tog över trummandet. Nicol fick ingen större karrär efter den korta stunden i rampljuset. Han gav ut några skivor och var dessutom medlem i den svenska gruppen The Spotnicks mellan 1965 och 1967.
