Me and my dad at my wedding in 1998 - to @joshuajame_g if my dad had still been alive today (2nd October) he’d be 89 years old - but he left this world a while ago. Here’s him with my kids when they were so tiny - so grateful he got to meet them (@tilly_grinling @jgrinling15 ) and here’s the album cover I tried to post a song from - one of his favourite tracks - but of course so obscure, lovely and interesting that it’s not even available 🙄 - the last photo is of me and my brother who I love very much - we were very young and he’s been through a lot since then as have we all HAPPY BIRTHDAY DADDY ❤️ by @nicki_lt

Lucky us to have just seen this for the second time - I don’t know how it’s possible but it’s even better in the #westend than when we saw it at the national theatre - @mspike has upped her game to the nth degree - raw, exciting and devastating - perfectly embodying the writing of brilliant @suziemillerwriter who has held a magnifying glass up to an all too frightening yet familiar story - get tickets if you can 🫵 #interalia by @nicki_lt

🚨NEW EPISODE🚨

Nicki Leighton-Thomas on Performing Jazz and Writing Music 🎶 🎭

Nicki is a critically acclaimed singer with a passion for Jazz music. After spending her formative years singing in choirs and starting a band at 17, she went on to drama school before moving to London.

Following a chance meeting with composer Simon Wallace, it led to her first studio album “Forbidden Games” which was The Evening Standard’s Album of the Week as well as raking in a four star review from both The Guardian and The Times.

She then went on to be a fixture in the London jazz scene performing at the 606 Club, Pizza on the Park, Pizza Express Jazz Club in Dean Street, The Groucho Club, The Café de Paris, The Barbican, The 100 Club, The Festival Hall amongst many more. Including clubs and festivals such as, The London Jazz Festival and The Stables of Wavendon.

In 2017 she released an album of songs by Dory Previn recorded and produced by John Reynolds and her work can be heard on albums by Gary Husband and Belinda Carlisle. Stay tuned for Nicki’s new album coming in the summer of this year!

Nicki and I discuss her love of music, especially Jazz, recording a studio album and the rewards and challenges of the creative process. To some of her musical inspirations and how in this time of AI, human creativity has never been valued more.

Thank you Nicki!
