Nicky Phillips is an established singer and songwriter based in Cheshire. Singing from a young age, Nicky started performing young and continued with this to study both classical and popular vocal studies at degree level. She now performs intimate stripped-back covers as well as regularly gigging with her original music - mostly on her acoustic guitar, but sometimes on her portable piano.
Nicky has performed at prestigious venues in London, such as the Southbank Centre, The Troubadour and The Bedford. In the North, Nicky has performed at Matt & Phred's, Night & Day Café and The Salty Dog (Northwich), to name a few. Along with performing around the UK, she has also had the opportunity to perform at a wedding in the Czech Republic and on stage in far away locations like Austin, Texas and Niamey, Niger. Nicky has also performed at many outdoor events, such as Knutsford Music Festival and Alderford Lake.
Nicky brings her own style and sensitivity when performing covers which makes her music perfect for weddings, events and bars; it is suitable for both entertaining guests or for quieter background music. Nicky is always willing to work on new song requests (with notice), she has previously re-imagined a TV theme tune for a couple's first dance.
Nicky primarily performs on acoustic guitar, but can provide piano covers as well, upon request.
