At the age of nine he started experimenting with analogue tape recorders, creating and recording music for school plays and local film club movies. At eleven years old Nigel joined the school ‘rock band’ on drums and recorded a few demo tapes using homemade equipment. From age eleven to seventeen he played with a range of bands, including fledgling London band The Small Faces who of course went on to great things. During this time he recorded in many London studios – now legends in their own right – gathering skills and experience along the way.

  • Representation Through Music in a Non-Parliamentary Nation
    MEDIANZ ! VOL 15, NO 1 ! 2015 DOI: 10.11157/medianz-vol15iss1id8 - ARTICLE - Re-Establishing Britishness / Englishness: Representation Through Music in a non-Parliamentary Nation Robert Burns Abstract The absence of a contemporary English identity distinct from right wing political elements has reinforced negative and apathetic perceptions of English folk culture and tradition among populist media. Negative perceptions such as these have to some extent been countered by the emergence of a post–progressive rock–orientated English folk–protest style that has enabled new folk music fusions to establish themselves in a populist performance medium that attracts a new folk audience. In this way, English politicised folk music has facilitated an English cultural identity that is distinct from negative social and political connotations. A significant contemporary national identity for British folk music in general therefore can be found in contemporary English folk as it is presented in a homogenous mix of popular and world music styles, despite a struggle both for and against European identity as the United Kingdom debates ‘Brexit’, the current term for its possible departure from the EU. My mother was half English and I'm half English too I'm a great big bundle of culture tied up in the red, white and blue (Billy Bragg and the Blokes 2002). When the singer and songwriter, Billy Bragg wrote the above song, England, Half English, a friend asked him whether he was being ironic. He replied ‘Do you know what, I’m not’, a statement which shocked his friends. Bragg is a social commentator, political activist and staunch socialist who is proudly English and an outspoken anti–racist, which his opponents may see as arguably diametrically opposed combination.

To decline under such circum- stances, he said, would have been “snotty.” Don’t More importantly, he conceives of his MBE as recognition he shares with the whole Call Me folk scene. “I’ve been put at the front of a very, very long queue of people who work hard to make a folk revival and a folk scene,” he said. Sir! “All those people who organized clubs for nothing and paid you out of their own pocket, and fed you and put you on the train the next morning, and put you to bed when you were drunk! What [the government is] doing, is taking notice of the fact that something’s going on for the last more than 40 years. It’s called the folk revival. They’ve ignored it for that long. And someone has suddenly taken notice, and that’s okay. A bit of profile isn’t gonna hurt us — and I say us, the plural, for the folk scene — isn’t gonna hurt us at all.” In the same year as Carthy’s moment of recognition, something happened that did hurt the folk scene. Lal Waterson, Carthy’s sister-in- law, bandmate, near neighbor and close friend, died of cancer.

  • Tuesday's Child Is Full of Hits
    Tuesday’s Child is … Full of Hits! Renowned UK music producer Jon Astley - the man behind hit albums by The Who, Eric Clapton and Debbie Harry - has teamed up with an Irish children's charity for a fundraising CD featuring top home-grown artists. Brother-in-law of guitar legend Pete Townsend, Astley agreed to compile Tuesday's Child (named after the charity), in support of their projects in 12 poverty-stricken regions such as the shanty towns of Sao Paolo, Bosnia-Herzegovina, The Congo, Gaza and Zimbabwe, where children are suffering - and in many cases starving - from a fundamental lack of resources. The compilation album features 31 soulful tracks by Irish acts including Snow Patrol (You Could Be Happy), Ronan Keating (Heaven), Westlife (Angel), Brian Kennedy (What You Wish For), Mary Black (Speaking With The Angel), The 4 of Us (Sunlight), Duke Special (Come Wander With Me), Eleanor McEvoy (When You Smile) and Kila , who wrote a new song, Beyond , for the CD. ‘We came up with the idea of putting childhood photographs of all the artists involved on the CD cover and insert ,’ said Jon, who has recently finished working on a Boomtown Rats re-issue. ‘ It’s an evocative reminder of how innocent and vulnerable we all are as children, and of how important it is for us to do our bit to help the most underprivileged kids of this world .’ Snow Patrol singer Gary Lightbody came on board with the project after becoming an uncle for the first time . ‘ Upon my first hold of my niece Honey, I soon realised that without my sister and my brother-in- law she would be helpless,’ said Gary.

  • THE CONCERT SCENE Heatons, Mcevoy, Gaelic Storm Top Lineup
    September 2013 Boston’s hometown VOL. 24 #9 journal of Irish culture. $1.50 Worldwide at All contents copyright © 2013 Boston Neighborhood News, Inc. bostonirish.com SEPTEMBER SOUNDS: THE CONCERT SCENE Heatons, McEvoy, Gaelic Storm top lineup By Sean Smith SpeciaL to the BiR Performances by Boston/New England acts Matt and Shannon Heaton, Lissa Schneckenburger and Annalivia, the return of popular Celtic rockers Gaelic Storm, and rare appearances by Connie Dover, Eleanor McEvoy, and The Wa- terboys highlight Irish/Celtic concerts in the Boston area this month. The Heatons’ “Back to School” concert on Sept. 17 in Harvard Square’s Club Passim combines, in typical fashion, traditional songs with whimsy. The Gaelic Storm performs at Boston’s Wilbur Theater on September 12. husband-and-wife duo will perform selections from their still-in-formation CD project, “Tell You in Earnest,” which Shannon describes as “all-dialogue bal- lads – narratives and stories that are each like a two-person play.” Playing on the beginning-of-school-year theme, the Heatons will add a pedagogical dimen- sion to the proceedings. “We’ll set it up like a classroom, with a school bell, school supplies and a whiteboard,” explains Shannon. “And each song will be used for a different subject, from math to English to driver’s ed, and we’ll figure out what we’ve all learned together.” There’s a more meaningful aspect to the show, though, she adds. “The folk tradition is so much bigger, so much older than us, and yet it remains relevant. We’re focusing on the notion that ballads can teach us some universal, enduring lessons, and we in turn can teach other in this community.
