Nick Parker

Event information

Glastonbury based Nick Parker started gigging in his early teens playing mandolin and singing, touring the UK and Europe, first with folk/rock/skiffle band ‘Why?’ and then with his own guitar band ‘Tobermory’before embarking on his solo career in 2010.

Since then he has enjoyed more than 30 tours, releasing five full-length albums along the way, with many of his songs being featured on BBC6 Music and other stations.

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.
