Nick Smith - That’s Where the Magic Lies As Singer-songwrite

Nick has a long standing interest in British folk music, attending folk clubs and festivals back in the U.K. before emigrating to NZ 20 years ago. Nick and his family settled in Gisborne for 12 years, where he was an active participant on the local music scene, performing in an acoustic duo and forming a folk / Irish band called Barleycorn.

He recently attended the Waimate Winter Folk Festival, sang a few songs at the blackboard concert. and was consequently booked for the Summer Waimate Festival, where his talented music was greatly enjoyed. Nick sings and plays guitar and has a wide range of folk material - including some original self written songs. He encourages audience participation, so be prepared to sing along with him in the chorus’s - that’s where the magic lies.
