Ben Nicholls is an acclaimed double bassist, singer, arranger and composer. He is the bassist of choice for the UK folk scene, and his new album Duets features many of the artists he has accompanied over his 30-year career.
Duets features Nadine Shah, Cara Dillon, Sam Lakeman, Seth Lakeman, Tim Eriksen, Kris Drever, Chris Vatalaro, Fay Hield, John Smith, Martin Simpson, Sam Sweeney, Chaim Tannenbaum, Patsy Reid, Evan Jenkins and Jon Boden. Bringing his upright bass playing into focus, the album features arrangements of traditional folk songs as well as newly composed material.
Duets was mostly recorded with live takes whilst creating a film for each track, recorded wherever Ben and his collaborators could meet up, from dressing rooms to church halls, Glasgow to New York City.
