Who are NickyWilsonsFoxyWheels?
Nicky Wilson: Lead Guitar | Vocals. He had a vision to write some songs just so he could deliver some face - melting guitar solos.
Trees (aka. 'Woman'): Vocals | percussion. She started writing songs because she couldn't afford therapy.
Sheep Head: Bass Sheep's new bride wanted him out of the house.
Jay: Drums. Like a puppy; excitable and loud ("Animal play"!)

Nicky Wilson
The project began during lock down when Nicky Wilson remembered he had a Les Paul and so stepped away from Trees' Yamaha and created the video series
“A riff that makes me stiff” *
on Facebook, to cheer up his friends and followers over lock down.
*(Songs that inspired this are curated into a playlist: 'listen now' button below)
He realised he can still play guitar. He started writing songs. The flood gates opened following the haunting “Nothing Left to Fear” - a tribute to his late friend Foxy.

Our debut album, "Always Been a Joker” was remastered in 2023 and has been released on all major streaming platforms.
Alongside “Joker” was “The black and White Album” - some songs from Joker but acoustic and occasionally featuring Trees and her acoustic guitar with some finger - picking goodness. Proving that face - melting songs can be just as good stripped back and with a nice cup of tea.
The 'stripped back' versions will be available to download again soon.
It is these versions that Nicky & Trees have brought to open mic nights and festivals alike over the past 18 months.
