Thank you to Andrew Merritt for some great shots!

Well what a month April has been! NTB Sold out every show this month! Starting with the Green Note Camden, The Wokingham Music Club who had their largest audience since the opening of the club 5 years ago and guess who was the opening band - NTB 😎 ! Then ending with over 1000 lovers and Bikers at The Paignton BMAD Festival…Bikers Make a Difference charity - What a blast!....

We’re on a roll so with your help let's do it again this month :O)  x  We have 2 great shows lined up for you !

First up, Friday 12th May with a new show we're calling, "Ladies and Legends" we'll be celebrating the artists who've influenced us on our musical journey, singing their songs and telling the stories behind why they touched us so. 

 

Our first evening is at Toulouse Lautrec, a brand new venue for us, in Kennington / Elephant & Castle. It's a great building on 3 floors, the first being a restaurant & brasserie, the second a piano bar and dining room, and the third, where we will be, a cabaret room with a stage and white baby grand and Ronnie Scotts Style seating, and you can have bar snacks.

 

Tonight we'll showcase the songs of the one and only Bette Midler, who was a huge influence on Nikki's early years.

Our special guest, Marisol Hillier, will be singing the songs of the singer songwriter legends she loves like Joni Mitchell and Joan Armatrading!

A house concert is the chance to experience music in a warm and intimate environment - when someone opens up their home and invites you into their living room, apartment, barn or garden to share in a performance by one of their favourite bands or musicians. - a chance to meet the performers up close and personal and get them to sign their CDs. It’s also a great social evening for friends and neighbours so lets have a party ! line up can be Nikki and Been to full band - you decide what's right for your space..

 

Read all about it https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/House_concert

Contact us and we can go through it with you, it’s easier than you think and shouldn’t actually cost you anything as the friends and family cover the peformance cost with an entry cost/donation, they can bring some drinks and their special recipe – you are supplying the space and they can supply the rest.

 

So now 2017 is well underway and we're looking forward to seeing you at a 'gig near you' or a 'gig near us' soon - way up North, down South, East or Way Out West - wherever you are -  bring some friends and come and join us  ️️💜🎶💜

There is nothing like this place, an old Pirates Snug tucked right at the very edge of Devon by the sea. Great Food, Great atmosphere, and totally Rock and Roll Nutty owners (in the nicest possible way).

It’s the epitome of how an old English pub should be, they even run a shuttle that leaves Kingsbridge Quay at 20.20 and drops you back there for midnight, so no one has to drink and drive! Shuttle price included with the ticket.

Our guest on thebnight is a lovely young singer songwriter from Exeter Emma Lauran her singlereleased in February. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=BY1zW0Wv6L4

Doors at 8pm. Showtime 9pm.

NTB Full Band Line-up - Sounds like a good time all round we think... See ya there.

 

Last and certainly not least, Thank you so much to all you beauties who came out to our final gig of 2016 at the Half Moon in Putney. What a great way it was to end the year by playing to a such glorious crowd - it was fun! Also, huge thank you to our lovely guest artist Giant Caterpillars for smashing up the beginning of our great night together. 

 

And now into 2017 we go – looking forward to seeing you at a 'gig near you' or a 'gig near us' soon 'cause time is tickin' away away away - bring some friends and come and get us ❤️🎶❤️

 

️❤️ Peace & Love & Rock N Roll from Nikki, Been and The Band️❤️
