Nizlopi

Nizlopi is a British music group, active since 2003, whose songs draw on traditional music. This concert brings the act to The Castle and Falcon, a Birmingham venue that hosts concerts and shows.

Nizlopi is an Anglo-Irish duo formed by Luke Concannon and John Parker, who met at school in Warwick and began writing songs together. Luke sings and plays guitar, while John plays double bass and beatboxes, and their music sits across pop, rock and indie. Their debut album, Half These Songs Are About You..., came out in 2004.

The pair set up their own label, FDM Records, to keep creative control of their work. Their best-known single, The JCB Song, reached number one in the United Kingdom and Ireland. After a period apart, they reconnected creatively, and Ed Sheeran invited them to open his LOOP tour of Europe.

Their concerts have often drawn audiences into singing along. The duo are currently previewing new material, with an EP planned and a new album anticipated. The Castle and Falcon suits listeners who know The JCB Song as well as those discovering the duo's sound for the first time.
