Over the years Nikki has developed a light-hearted and cheerful connection with audiences which makes her performance both scintillating and a genuinely memorable experience.

The Devanaires: This popular 5-piece band from Birmingham formed in 2021. The band provides a unique blend of entertainment which fuses three-part vocal harmonies, high energy punchy sounding guitars that combine all the elements that bring to life classic songs from the 60's onwards. Energy, fun and professionalism are the key ingredients that will make audiences want to get on their feet and dance.

Craig Gould & The Noble Thieves: Craig Gould’s talent has received comparisons with songwriting royalty such as Cat Stevens, Leonard Cohen, Bob Dylan and Fleetwood Mac.

The record, listed amongst the ‘Best Albums of 2023’ by respected music publications shows Gould’s journey through severe mental illness.
