In 2003 he received an award by the town newspaper The Shuttle in recognition for his work in helping create and set up Kidderminster college’s own record label M.A.S. Records.

The concert mentioned by the Prince during his visit was a rock festival called Disobey filled with artists from the college record label and was held at Kidderminster Town Hall which Townsend and King had negotiated and organised for the then mayor of Kidderminster Ken Stokes to raise money for the town’s War Memorial along with successfully bringing back live music to the Town Hall building. The landmark event created by Mayor Stokes, Townsend and King revitalised interest and potential for the venue which hadn’t accommodated live music in over 20 years and beforehand had housed world- famous rock acts including The Rolling Stones, U2 and The Who. The Disobey rock concert took place on 13 March 2004 and attracted the attention of Californian Skate and Surf ware company Vans who offered a sponsorship deal.

Nick was part of a Kidderminster College music management course. He helped Kevyn Gammond Band Of Joy set up and recruit bands for the college record label Mighty Atom Smasher. Townsend suggested that Gammond should change the name of his idea to M.A.S. Records.
