GRANT NICHOLAS (FEEDER) & Guests

Feeder’s frontman Grant Nicholas has announced a show at The Empire Music Hall for Sunday 1st March 2015. For all the best artists, the thrill of continued commercial success is at some point outweighed by the need to challenge themselves creatively. After 20 stellar years with Feeder -including 8 gold and platinum albums and over 3 million album sales- for Grant Nicholas that moment came after his band’s sell out show at Brixton Academy in November 2012. Recorded over fourteen months in various studios on both sides of the Atlantic, his solo album ‘Yorktown Heights’ is that rarest of beasts – an album which evokes the carefree spirit of Laurel Canyon in the ‘70’s while also sounding bang up date. Tickets for the Belfast show go on sale this Wednesday 19th November at 9am from all usual outlets.

“When you have a formula which you know works it can be difficult to stop,” he explains with typical candour. “Feeder is a great band to be in, but it requires a certain head space. I wanted to clear my head for a bit and write some songs, and this album just came along. It felt so natural because there were no expectations.”
