About us


Nately are a hyphen-lovin' indie-rock-acoustic four-piece. Although they enjoy intimate venues like the 12 Bar Club and the Betsey Trotwood in their native London, they've been known to stray as far as the Night & Day Cafe in Manchester and are about to play Bestival on the Isle of Wight for the fourth year in a row.

Frontman Niall Barker has been writing songs for nearly 20 years and is pretty bloody good at it. In addition to singing, he plays a mean acoustic guitar and has recently taken up the trumpet to prove that you can't be good at everything.

Sideman Alex S-B plays acoustic bass and tenor sax, occasionally at the same time using a high-risk looping pedal, as well as providing begrudging but necessary backing vocals.

New-comers Mikey Keys on Hammond and the fantastic Steve Greenwood on drums complete the line-up.

Their influences range from David Bowie, Pixies and the Kinks to John Coltrane, Nina Simone and Taj Mahal. The band are in their very, very late twenties.
