$Nick Parker + Flo Parker Bombosch \/ B-Sydes$

Glastonbury based Nick Parker started gigging in his early teens playing mandolin and singing in folk/rock/skiffle band ‘Why?’, and spent the next 10 years bouncing around on stages at hundreds of venues and festivals around the UK and Europe. In 2010 Nick embarked on a solo career and has since enjoyed over 30 tours around the UK and Europe, releasing five full-length albums along the way, many songs from which have been featured on BBC6 Music among many other radio stations.
Although primarily a solo effort Nick often plays with his band ‘Nick Parker and the False Alarms’ which is a folky/rocky/country affair using guitars, fiddle, pedal steel, banjo, mandolin, cornet,
accordion, keys, whistles, pipes, bass and drums, often with various members switching instruments when space permits. At a recent gig the band were described as ‘A British Arcade Fire’, something that Nick was very pleased about. Nick also often gigs as a duo with fiddle player Ben Wain.
Over the years Nick has had the pleasure of sharing the stage with The Wedding Present, Bright Eyes and Tom Robinson among many others, and has recently provided tour support for Levellers, Ginger Wildheart & the Sinners, and Skinny Lister. In the autumn of 2022 Nick toured Europe supporting Levellers both solo (5 dates) and with his band the False Alarms (11 dates) taking in Netherlands, Belgium, Germany, Czech Republic, Denmark and
Sweden.

Somerset-based singer/songwriter, coming from punk rock college bands and father-daughter folk harmony-focused duets, Flo now makes her own folk-indie-rock-something music, influenced by the likes of Death Cab For Cutie and The Frames. Flo’s songs touch upon life, loss, and observations, and aim to relate in a lot of cases.
