Why this name?
Could you believe it's her name?
Do you play live?
Can be seen performing live dates in UK, principally on InterMet Roadshow dates.
How, do you think, does the internet (or mp3) change the music industry?
It gives a chance for the artist to reach the public directly.
Would you sign a record contract with a major label?
Don't think they would do more than my current producer is doing.
Band History:
Became most serious about her music when given JP's phone number by a mutual friend and arranged an audition at the studios of IMMG.
Immediately hit by the talent of this young songwriter, the debut album 'Waiting For An Angel' was embarked upon.
Colette can also be heard providing backing vocals for Barbara McDonald on 'Wings.'

Your influences?
If you can imagine Suzanne Vega teaming up with Avril Lavigne you will love this original singer/writer with rock leanings as well as the ability to perform acoustic songs with great sensitivity. Other influences include Sheryl Crow and Stevie Nicks, The Murmurs....Rilo Kiley....and just the world in general!!
Favorite spot?
Sunset at Knightstone Harbour in Somerset (UK)
Equipment used:
gretsch rancher (historic series), 1980's epiphone strat, 1970's jedson tele

REVIEW
"This ten track CD highlights the enormous songwriting talents of Colette Nicholls. Every song has it's own story, style and unique identity and yet the album retains a cohesion through the fresh, soft voiced delivery of Colette.
From the rocky 'Get Up Off Yer Ass' to the childlike innocence and fear of the title track 'Waiting For An Angel,' or the acoustic 'In Memorium' to the indie Rock of the opening track, she delivers the songs in a style unmistakeably her own." - writes Ken Hartland, Reviewer and contributor to ISA Magazine (International Songwriters Association).
