About Nicholas Stevenson

Nicholas Stevenson was born on a snowy Sunday in 1989. He found his first guitar at the age of eleven. It was an old classical with four of its nylon strings broken, and it lay buried beneath the roots of a sandragon tree. The instrument was named Ursula, and it possessed the soul of a witch, whose heart was stuck inside the tree; each time a bird pecked at the tree it bled her dark red blood. Together Nicholas and the Witch’s guitar played many beautiful songs, but the Witch inside Ursula did not really like folk music particularly. In the form of several nightmares involving bizarre scenes of disfigurement and the painting of black wooden houses, the Witch begged Nicholas to sell his soul to punk rock. And at the age of sixteen Nicholas, tired of the persistent dreams, sold his soul to punk rock and smashed Ursula to pieces on stage with his band of high school friends. It was what she would have wanted. Nowadays Nicholas lives in Hereford where he attends Art College, and also lives near Cambridge sometimes too. He has played shows in places, including some far across the Atlantic Ocean. http://www.nicholasstevenson.co.uk/ Nicholas Stevenson Artwork Nicholas Stevenson on Twitter Nicholas Stevenson on Facebook Nicholas Stevenson on Myspace Nicholas Stevenson on SoundCloud
