Sorry, This Event is in the past!
Glastonbury based Nick Parker started gigging in his early teens playing mandolin and singing in folk/rock/skiffle band ?Why??, and spent the next 10 years bouncing around on stages at hundreds of venues and festivals around the UK and Europe. In 1998 Nick called it a day with Why? and started guitar band ?Tobermory?. After various false starts, a few flirtations with industry ?big? boys and a few tours in Germany, Tobermory played their last gig in 2004.
In 2010 Nick embarked on a solo career and has since released four full-length albums, 2010?s ?The King of False Alarms?, 2014?s ?Angry Pork and the Occasional Bird?, 2017?s ?Besta Venya?, (tracks from which have been played on various BBC6Music shows) and 2020?s Make Siddowda ? Live from Worcester.
Over the years Nick has had the pleasure of sharing the stage with The Wedding Present, Bright Eyes, Frank Turner and Mike Peters among others, and has recently provided tour support for Levellers, Ginger Wildheart & the Sinners, and Skinny Lister.
Nick?s songs are often tongue-in-cheek and cheerful, and on the rare occasion when fun IS poked (usually at himself) it is always with a wry smile and an element of satire. The audience are often encouraged to be a part of the show, from holding up lyrics or creating sound effects, to providing basslines or collectively being Nick?s duet partner.
