English singer/songwriter/guitarist Nicky Swann, a performer who effortlessly combines talent and grace, ability and daring. Her soulful, heartfelt vocals and emotionally honest songs combine with an impish stage presence to create a direct connection with her audience.
Currently recording a new album with Phil Beer (from the popular folk duo Show of Hands) producing and engineering.
"A finely crafted original from singer/songwriter Nicky Swann. Jazzy, slow-funk-folk verses build into an unexpected sumptuous chorus with pop/country tones... this is a many-coloured coat she sings. Hints of Betsy Cook, Heidi Berry, Eva Cassidy, The McGarrigles... a relaxed mix and very well recorded... perfect for winding-down to."
M MacLaren on Feeling Fine- May 2007
"Her songs sound great on the radio, Nicky Swann combines mellow guitar playing and great songwriting into a smooth and polished performance.
Joe Hellier - Palm FM - December 2007
"... she has a beautiful voice and very good phrasing, real shivers stuff. She has a subtlety that reminds me of Emmylou Harris without ever being too derivative."
Matt Hill - UK singer/songwriter (aka Quiet Loner) - January 08

Sticking with top class new singer/songwriters we have the angel voiced NICKY SWANN from UK's South Devon. The lovely Nicky licenses the beautiful and melodic folk tinged ballad "feeling fine". This exceptional song starts off with melancholy jangly guitars that lead into the wonderful and very melodic vocals from South Devon's fastest rising star. Nicky's vocals are lovely and are in a world of their own but are also slightly Dolores Cranberry-esq at times. Nicky started out as an acoustic cover artist in local pubs and went on to record two top albums ( Feeling Fine" and "Wishing I was Home"). She was recently played on Gemini FM and performed a live set. Flowery, folk-tinged melodic organic proper pop with a timeless feel. Nicky Swann and her band ( Mike( her brother), James Sharp and Lee James) delivers sentimental songs of beauty. Excellent.
