WHO  ARE NUNC?
      Formed in November 2014, they were originally Flossy McDougal, Geoff Veasey and John Kearney.  Flossy sang and recorded previously with Pennyroyal along with Linda Dickson and Sue Dixon.  Geoff sang and recorded previously with Black Parrot Seaside. John is a respected singer/songwriter originally from Cork and was a member of various bands including Romeo's Butcher. Nunc is latin for "Now"-and so was intended to reflect new beginnings after their previous bands folded. Flossy is Geoff's Niece.  (Niece+Uncle=Nunc).  Someone recently pointed out, in a reference to our shirts, Nunc could also be an acronym for "Never under nine colours." 
Blues Monkeys Paul Moore and Jon Harrington have since been added to the line-up.
​
WHO ARE DRUNK MONKEY THEN?  When supplemented on electric bass by Dragonhead's John Harris the band do Festivals and larger venues as Drunk Monkey. (see what we did there?)  (Confusing,isn't it?)

WHERE CAN WE SEE THEM?

NFC is based at The Queen's Hall,  Nuneaton.  We guested at Bedworth Folk Club on Wednesday January 23rd 2019. On 10th February we open for Jack Blackman at CovFolk's Blue Sunday at The Albany Theatre, Coventry. The following weekend, Saturday 16th February, we are doing a set at The Lord Leycester Hospital Blues Festival in Warwick.

They   have also appeared at Warwick, Bedworth,  Atherstone and Stockton Folk Clubs.

​
WHAT SORT OF MATERIAL?
      Set list includes some traditional folk songs, a few originals, Blues,Roots Americana and Country.  We "nunc" covers of songs by Neil Young, Crowded House, Steve Earle, Sam Cooke, Kasey Chambers, Bonnie Raitt, John Prine, Richard and Linda Thompson, Bob Dylan, The Incredible String Band, Randy Newman,Smokey Robinson,U2,Eddi Reader and Petula Clarke.  By this we mean that most  songs are adapted to a unique Nunc arrangement, with three part harmonies and some  are run together, as  medleys or segues. This format is popular with audiences who like singing along. With both contemporary and traditional numbers in any set list they tend to appeal to a very broad audience.
