Nik Kershaw : Musings and Lyrics
Nik Kershaw invites audiences to an intimate night of music, memories and mischievous humour as he celebrates the release of his new book. It’s a rare chance to spend time with one of the nation’s most‑loved performers in a relaxed, up‑close setting where the stories flow as easily as the songs.
Known for a run of global hits that helped define a decade, Nik revisits favourites such as Wouldn’t It Be Good, The Riddle, and I Won’t Let the Sun Go Down on Me, while reflecting on the collaborations that shaped his career, from Elton John and Sia to Bonnie Tyler and Gary Barlow. His journey has taken him from early days with Haircut 100 to the world‑changing moment of Band Aid 1985, and he brings those memories to life with warmth, wit and a touch of self‑deprecating charm.
The evening blends live performance with candid storytelling, offering a heartfelt look back at the music, the madness and the milestones that made Nik Kershaw a household name. It’s a celebration of a remarkable career and a night that promises both nostalgia and plenty of surprises.
