ON Sunday, November 16, Nizlopi will reunite for a new tour after their split in 2008.
The hugely successful, highly original, inescapably endearing duo are back on the road as they come to The Globe, Cardiff armed with a brand new live CD.
Songwriter, vocalist and guitarist Luke Concannon and in-demand double bassist and beat boxer John Parker shot to fame in December 2005 when the innocent charm and human touch of their JCB song saw them hit number one in both the UK and Ireland, just a week after their appearance on Top of the Pops.
The runaway success of the two Warwickshire musicians who had met on the school bus aged 13, saw Nizlopi quickly gather a cult following. With their “alternative” no hiding place songs, sometimes edgy, often heart warming, always passionate, and all-enveloping shows that became as much about the audience as the performers, Nizlopi (named after a Hungarian girl that Luke had a crush on at school) found a unique “folk hip hop” niche and a reputation as outstanding live performers.
