Nicky Cayo
I am a songwriter, who plays classical / acoustic guitar, and sings. My songs are a blend of folk, jazz, blues and poetry, and I often play a classical guitar styled accompaniment at the same time.
My influences and styles range from mid 20th century Tin Pan Alley stage and screen to 1960s/70s folk music, and contemporary acoustic music.
I have played a variety of music in a variety of venues, both as a solo artist and as a member of duos and groups, from large scale conferences and festivals, to folk music sessions, shopping malls, and tiny ceilidhs miles from anywhere, where the stage has been the back of a pick-up truck.
Some of my favourite performances have been: at Theaster Gates' 'Sanctum' in Bristol UK, Rowan Ayers' 'Upstage Productions' events in Noosa Queensland, and classical guitar concerts with the guitarist and luthier Ben Maddock.
I have an MA in Songwriting with Distinction; all music and lyrics here are my own work.
