Nick Cody and the Heartache

I briefly played with the Leeds based singer songwriter Nick Cody, performing at the Old Woollen in May 2026 supporting the legendary folk singer Martin Simpson. This was a one off performance for me, I won't be playing with The Heartache again, and I include a link to the highlights video here on my website only because it's a decent showcase of both my fiddle and flute playing. As things moved on after this performance, I came to the realisation that I had entered a very strange Emperor's New Clothes, Louis XIV, Alice in Wonderland type situation where someone constructs a weird fantasy world of their own making like nothing I've ever seen, and I'm now in a position and at an age where I can choose to walk away when something just isn't right. One day I might write a blog post about the weirdness of this, as it truly was (and continues to be) unique, but for now I'm happy to have nothing further to do with this strange little man.
