His considered approach to accompaniment is informed by a deep respect for the nuances of traditional song and his captivating live performances are a testament to the importance he places on story-telling.\u003c\/p\u003e\\r\u003cbr\u003e\\r\u003cbr\u003e\u003cp\u003eNick has released two solo albums, \u003cem\u003eNick Hart Sings Eight English Folk Songs\u003c\/em\u003e (2017) and \u003cem\u003eNick Hart Sings Nine English Folk Songs\u003c\/em\u003e (2019), both to critical acclaim.

Deprived of a sound engineer and locked away in a house full of strange instruments, he was afforded the time and space to explore different approaches to the accompaniment of traditional song. Nick's distinctive guitar playing is augmented here by harmonium, lyre, viols and a host of percussion and woodwinds, and while some tracks were recorded completely live, others such as 'May Song' and 'Dives and Lazarus' have been given a more multi-layered treatment. At the heart of it though, Nick has approached the songs on this album with the care and sensitivity for which he has become known, allowing them the space they need, while bringing to the fore the nuances in mode and meter that make these songs so special. \u003c\/p\u003e\\r\u003cbr\u003e\\r\u003cbr\u003e\u003cp\u003eIn 2021, Nick scooped the Christian Raphael Prize, awarded in association with the Cambridge Folk Festival, to nurture artist development.
