Nicholas Payne

Nicholas Payne has been involved in music from an early age, having first sung at a seaside talent show aged four, mostly forgetting the words to Rupert The Bear in front of a bemused big band. His success singing duets (There’s A Hole In My Bucket, and Soldier, Soldier) at school with classmate Elizabeth Murray lead Nicholas to form a Goodies-type trio with friends David Jones and Nicholas Cantlay, which in later years evolved into a Beatles/Bowie styled band The Flashing Raincoats. His final band as a teenager was called Wraith.

For many years Nicholas pursued a career as an actor, and performed alongside future Benidorm star Tony Maudsley in The Canterbury Tales. In more recent years he’s compered poetry and music nights across the North West of England, and supported John Cooper Clarke.

Nicholas is currently gigging with his band Tiger Lily, writing a sitcom with friends, and performing solo with just his guitar and a few stories thrown in for good measure. With a degree majoring in video production, his last great ambition is to be a filmmaker. Watch this space.
