Singer, songwriter and multi-instrumentalist, Nicola Farnon has terrific stage presence, not to mention the many albums to her name. She "…sings and swings with the best of 'em" – Jim Mullen.
"...integrity and joy" – Manchester Jazz Festival
"The Nicola Farnon Trio combine first class musicianship with a genuine enthusiasm for being on stage at a prestigious jazz festival. Time and again Farnon's bass playing swung, her winning vocals a delight" – Scarborough Jazz Festival
Widely recognised as one of the classiest Jazz and Swing singers and/or double bassists in the UK, songwriter and multi-instrumentalist Nicola Farnon has a remarkable musical pedigree, both parents being professional classical musicians and her great uncle no less than the late Robert Farnon.
Originally raised classically on the cello and the piano, Nicola started singing and playing double bass in her twenties which led to a jazz career spanning 25 years (so far!).
Nicola has played and recorded with such Jazz luminaries as Dave Newton, Digby Fairweather, Jim Mullen, Bruce Adams and Alan Barnes and alongside class jazz acts as diverse as Eliane Elias, Courtney Pine, Georgie Fame,Tony Kofi, Michael Garrick Jazz Britannia Orchestra, Sir John Dankworth and Dame Cleo Laine, Humphrey Lyttleton and Acker Bilk.
On stage Nicola is a class act with a passionate and swinging style, outstanding personality and a charismatic stage presence to match – with an uncanny ability to adapt her performance to captivate and embrace any audience.
"Nicola's trio make optimum use of their combined instrumental skills with integrity and joy" – Manchester Jazz Festival
Line up: Nicola Farnon – vocals/double bass Richard Wetherall – piano Phil Johnson – drums
