Hi everyone!

Sorry not to let you all know what happened at the Indy Awards! I have been CRAZY busy! Anyway here goes..

It was a great night, but I didn't win the award, although being there in the final 54 was such a massive priviledge!

Thank you so much to all of you who came along, and although there was no award, I was reminded by SEB Collective that winning was being nomindated, and the award just icing on the cake! Nice! Thank you to all of you for giving me the cake!

I've been busy gigging, and travelling loads this last week or two. I just attended Hillsong Colour Conference at the Royal Albert Hall for the last two days and it was FANTASTIC!

I am planning a recording that will be ready hopefully by Autumn for the general public! It's time I put some of the songs I've been performing for the last couple of years down!

So, there's a bit of writing going on, more gigs planned for the summer and the Autumn. That's all...I think I should probably say more about atristic stuff...but i'll do that another day.

Love ya'll, thank you for supporting me and being my friends!

Hey guys!

Just wanted to say thanks for coming out to The Original Songwriters on Tuesday! What a great night!  The house band are absolutley hot to trot!  I loved playing with them.  I’ll hopefully be back there in May so please keep your eyes peeled on the gig listings! 

Looking forward to seeing a load of you at My Place on Saturday for the celebration of Soho Revue’s Indy Award nominees!  SEBCollective do an amazing job and always run fantastic evenings (hence their nomination for best promoters) so come along for a great time!

So, see you Saturday!

Many many thanks to you all for voting over these last two months! It paid off and I have been shortlisted for The INDY Music Award in the MUSIC UNCHARTED BEST INDIE ACT.
 
I'm over the moon!  The award ceremony will be on April 25th this year..and no doubt winners will be announced on the night!
 
SEB COLLECTIVE was short listed for PROMOTER of the YEAR which is great! They nominated me for the award and so I'm so pleased that they have also been recognised for their excellent work!
 
Thanks so much guys!  I'll keep you posted!

Firstly just want to say a big 'thank you' to all of you who voted for me at The Indy Awards! Many thanks!  I will keep you posted. I think that to be nominated was such an honor, and if it stops at that I'll be happy!  It's so lovely being acknowledged as an artist and when things like this happen it definitely spurs me on!

I've been to Cornwall and back at the weekend and had a great gig at Space South-West in Truro!  It was lovely to see so many people there! It rained on us in the afternoon though, and I ended up with a terrible cold all weekend!  I thought it was meant to be sunny and surfy in Cornwall??  Oh well, I'll have to go back to see if the sun really does shine on the Cornish coast!

I have a couple of great gigs over these next two weeks. Be sure to check out the gigs page!  I'd love to see a good crowd at the gig on 8th and also at the wonderful SEBCollective night, My Place (Celebration of Indy Award Nominee’s) on Saturday April 12th! Come down and listen to some great music and have a bevy!

Looking forward to seeing some of you soon and hope you are well!

Hi everyone! I've been busy writing new material with Jamie Duffin a fantastic writer and producer from Glasgow.  I also am currently co-writing with some other fantastic writers from London and am collecting new and exciting material for my next recording.  Not sure exactly when or how this recording will come about but I'm hopeful that 2008 will see the best work I've done so far!

London is crazy!  You can be rushed off your feet all week, and then realise that you've done nothing of much use! Apart from getting knocked off your feet onto your luggage at the barriers in Euston station, eating a mint from the pub table and realising it's your mates sleeping tablet, reading Harry Potter for 5 hours and missing your appointment with the dentist..life in London is great! I love the creative energy here.

I've been overwhelmed by the support of Soho Revue and SEB collective who nominated me for the Indy Award! Please please please go to www.indyawards.co.uk and vote for me! Tell your frinds! 

There are some great gigs coming up and I'm doing my best to update this FANTASTIC site! Thanks Anthony!

I'll be writing more often now..maybe I could set up a blog for all the embarrassing things that happen to me every week? Please..if you have any stories to outdo me, blog them on the site! Hope to see you all at some gigs this month! Nicki x

I am currently in Capetown, South Africa, writing what could turn out to be my third album.

I'll be here for six weeks before returning home for a very busy summer.
South Africa sounds very exotic, but it's actually raining more here than back at home! It's very inspiring though and there are mountains outside my bedroom window.

I hope to be seeing many of you at some of the summer festivals, where I'll be introducing some of my new songs.

Thank you to all of you who have come along to gigs over the last months and for all your emails. Keep them coming in! I'll let you know my plans for the rest of 2006 when I get back.

Watch this space, lots of love,

Nicki R
