Fate Outsmarts Desire

Kaprekars Constant is the brainchild of childhood friends, songwriters and multi-instrumentalists Al Nicholson and Nick Jefferson. Joined throughout its debut album by legendary Van Der Graaf Generator saxophonist/flautist David Jackson, vocalist Dorie Jackson (Francis Dunnery) and ace former Level 42 drummer Phil Gould, the band’s melodic sensibilities, epic arrangements and love of historical subject matter are bound to find favour with fans of Big Big Train and early Genesis.
