About Me

my name is jonny nicholds and i am a light hearted wippersnapper with a big pair of shoes and a freeze dried wit to keep all my family and friends entertained.my hobbies consist of growing beards(mainly sparse and ginger ones), byting my nails and playing my trusty guitar which i made myself out of a leather strap and a guitar i bought two years ago.I find it hard to say what my range of music is like, but its mostly made up of thoughts and speeded up hotel california picking patterns.... all i know is that sometimes it's dark and sometimes it's comic and i fucking love making it, writing it, performing it and i want to get paid for it.... soooo FIENDS, LAMEN, COUNTRYHOES GIVE ME YOUR FUCKING EAR.....CHEERS!!!!!!! Jonny Nicholds is a Coventry based singer songwriter who has contributed to the local music scene since 2001. His intricate, probing songs are often moving in their melancholy and mordant humour. Blended together from funk, folk, jazz and bluegrass, they often evoke a sense of unease by juxtaposing images of modern life. The result is a curious mix of joyous, expressive song and scabrous satire, electrifying to watch.
"Jonny Nicholds' fervour for the raw, unvarnished happiness of guitar, voice and audience teaches us afresh how, and why, to listen." - Avocado magazine
