Reading time: 2 Minutes

My name is Nick Barnes, I was born in 1962, I’m a singer, songwriter guitarist. Music has always been my love and passion. My birthplace was The Isle of Sheppey, Kent, England.

I started playing the guitar when I was 12 and have played in bands and as a solo musician since I was 16.

I did a BBC Children in Need fundraising appeal/TV show in the 80s with my own band. Two of the guitarists went on to play with Del Ametri and Lindisfarne. Then I got married, hence no music recorded for a few years.

On my first album The Last Train, I was really lucky to work with Tommy Mandel of the Brian Adams Band. Since then I have written and recorded two more albums, The Blacktop Road and Throwin Stones. Tommy has worked on all three albums with me. I have also had some really great musicians work with me that can not be named due to contractual reasons.

Most recently on the “Throwin Stones” album, I was lucky to work with Ian Cutler, the fiddle player from The Strawbs. All three albums are currently getting airplay worldwide, on various FM and internet stations and here on Eastbourne.online.

All the DJ’s that are playing my music are saying that it is being well received.

I also really love presenting radio shows which I have been doing now for about 5 years.

And here’s a selection of Nick’s previous shows…feel free to listen to them (but make sure to press stop on the radio player at the top of this page before pressing play here…)
