Never The Bride(UK) Når
eit Rock'n Roll Band blir fronta av ein gnistrande stemmen til Nikki
Lamborn, når songane blir laga av den talentfulle Catherine Feeney
og når bandet har musikarar i verdsklasse, då heiter bandet Never
The Bride. Dei kjem til Skånevik Bluesfestival i sommar.
Folk som verkeleg har greie på det
seier: Bob Harris, BBC Radio 2:Never The Bride: "En absolutt
strålande band. Eit av dei beste live-banda i Storbritannia".
Roger
Daltrey i The Who meiner at Bristol-fødde Nikki Lamborn er den
beste rock-stemmen sidan Janis Joplin.
Dame Shirley Bassey:
Hearing Nikki sing “The Living Tree,” said: “I got goose bumps
and the hairs on the back of my neck stood up”. After Bassey
recorded and performed live with Never the Bride, she
described the experience as “Inspirational”.
Om
bandet
Nikki Lamborn: Lead Singer
Described as the love child of Robert Plant and Tina Turner, Nikki
struck out for herself at only 15…a singing waitress and a
hairdresser, and then off for the bright lights of London to follow
her dream of making a name for herself in music.
When Roger Daltrey personally calls you to perform with The Who and
you give Diva Dame Shirley Bassey goosebumps, a singer could be
forgiven for thinking that dream could come true.
Catherine Feeney: Keyboards, Guitar, Vocals
Glaswegian Catherine Feeney also headed for the bright lights…and
found Nikki on the stage of a London pub. A composer, a keyboardist
and guitarist, when these two met something very special was born:
Never the Bride.
Boys in the Band
Led by Catherine, the boys in the band are some of the best
musicians in the business and have performed with artists such as
Tina Turner, Elton John, Eric Clapton, James Brown, Steve Marriot,
Mark Knopfler and many more.
Never the Bride
has performed live and recorded with the world’s top musicians: The
Who, ZZ TOP, Alice Cooper, Robert Plant, Peter Frampton, Paul
Rodgers and Gary Brooker, The Pretenders, Procol Harum…all left
breathless by their talent.
At The Royal Albert Hall, Roger Daltrey held
up Nikki’s hand and shouted out, “Nikki Lamborn has the best female
rock voice since Janis Joplin and I know what I’m talking about, I
knew Janis.”
All around the world Nikki and Catherine have stunned the rich and
famous: The Kennedys, The British Rock Symphony Orchestra, a private
performance with Cher, Robert Plant as they performed their own
arrangement of his song “Going To California”. The very song they
recorded on the Zeppelin tribute album “Encomium” which earned
Never The Bride their first gold disc.
Check out youtube to see Never the Bride on “Stairway to
Heaven” and “Kashmir” with the full orchestra.
Nikki and Catherine produced Bassey’s “Get The Party Started”
album. The album broke world records with the longevity of her
chart career, reaching Number 6 in the UK charts. Her version of
“The Living Tree” was a top 40 hit sung by Bassey in the presence of
The Queen on a The Royal Variety Performance.
A world class act, Never the Bride has a primal power and a
vital passion that raises not only the roof, but the soul.
