Billy Nicholls: a British songwriter whose debut kept finding listeners
Billy Nicholls is a British singer, songwriter, and composer whose work stretches across six decades. The supplied biography places his birth in White City, London, in 1949 and says his debut album arrived when he was nineteen. That record, Would You Believe, was produced by Andrew Loog Oldham and recorded with The Small Faces before an initial pressing of just 100 copies. Later releases include Love Songs, White Horse, Under One Banner, Snapshot, Still Entwined, Penumbra Moon, Rosslyn Road, and A Secret Game. The sources also say he founded Southwest Records in 1998 and received an ASCAP Award in 2009. Start with the debut, then move to a later song that became part of his wider catalogue.
