NIZLOPI

PRESENTED BY LAYLA ANNA-LEE
Nizlopi is Luke Concannon and John Parker, two friends from Leamington Spa whove been writing and playing music together since their early teens. With a background in the celtic folk tradition and a love of jazz and hip-hop, together these two young men have created a sound of their own with a huge national and international following.

At the end of 2005 they achieved astonishing chart success with their JCB Song, which leapt up from the underground unforeseen to go straight to number one, making history. Luke and John were introduced to the mad worlds of Top Of The Pops and Richard and Judy, disarming all with their energy and musicality. (They were the only ones on TOTPs not to mime. Both times!) But chart victory didnt happen overnight. Since the release of their debut album Half These Songs Are About You, recorded at the bottom of the garden, Nizlopi have earned a reputation as one of the hardest working bands in the country.

Having supported acts like Jamie Cullum, Christina Aguilera and Billy Bragg, Nizlopi are now on tour throughout the UK and Ireland to promote their latest release, the album 'Make It Happen'.

ah I remember them playing upstairs in a pub a few years ago, not long afterwards they were suddenly no.1 & the albums were everywhere... my only claim to fame is that the singer guy wrote his guitar tutor's number down for me, it's not even a signature or anything useful but I tell everyone anyway & they're never very impressed

[jakdaki]

he is a great singer

[davidlondon500]

beautiful voice beautiful song...

[Mass555]

The singer will most definately go solo...sadly don't think there is as much calling for a double bass player these days!

Shame they're not together, but guess that's just the way things go.

[tazzy27581]

Just realised they have split up (der...a little slow on the up take). They were a great band with heartfelt emotional music and any band with beatboxing in it I love (most of the time). R.I.P Nizlopi.

dyslexia is a reading difficulty....and sporadic laughter is not indicative of anything other than mirth!!

[EllaMayBlake]

I think he might have just been laughing because what he said was a joke, nothing wrong with that, eh? Hehe, and I've heard he's dylexic, but that's it :)
