Nicholas Hirst

Nicholas was born in 1979, and grew up in Essex and Detroit. His mother took him to his first piano lessons when we was seven. He also started (and abandonded) playing classical guitar, took up the bass, and was taught to play drums by his father. He began writing songs when he was ten.
He moved to London when he was grown up and began playing the small clubs and bars around the acoustic circuit. After playing for several years with London band The Conway Story, he joined eight-piece Revere. He also plays with alt.folk singer/songwriter Kat Flint.
The songs on this site are all rough demos and were recorded in a flat near the river in London, apart from Sweet Angel which was recorded at 2am in Notting Hill after a bottle and a half of wine, and Home and Away, which was recorded by Joel Armsden of Earmusic above a pub in Chalk Farm while other people watched. Sometimes they're up, sometimes they're not. Nik Owens from The Conway Story helped with recording.
Nicholas also has a twin on iSound:



and a bunch more songs on Broadjam.
