About / Biography

One of London's most unstoppable musical forces, The Nomads' violin flair and virtuoso guitar work, both electric and acoustic, will bring any party, celebration, or occasion to life. Whether you want a rock band, a folk band, or something in between, The Nomads are a great choice for your special occasion or big day.

The Nomads have spent many years working as session musicians, arrangers and producers, touring in Europe, North and South America and Japan, as well as gracing the stages of some of the biggest festivals in the world like Glastonbury and Hyde Park Summer Time, legendary venues like the Royal Albert Hall and Ronnie Scott's as well as radio and TV appearances, and advert commissions for brands like Nike and Amazon. They are also proudly endorsed by a number of different music brands.

They have also worked with artists like Phil Manzanera (Roxy Music), David Gilmour (Pink Floyd), and Band of Skulls, as well as sharing the stage with musicians like Chad Smith (Red Hot Chilli Peppers) and working with top producers like Danny Allin (James Bay, Jamie Callum), Sean Genockey (The Who) and Grammy award winners Luis Resto (Eminem) and Liam Watson (The White Stripes).

Legend has it, The Nomads met around a campfire in the English countryside and shared songs, ale, and tales of old until the sun came up and from then on they have had an unbreakable bond of kinsmanship, which shines through in their music.

After years playing together in some of the most established wedding and corporate function bands in the country, they decided it was time to join forces to bring you the ultimate party! Over the last 3 years they have cemented themselves as one of the most in-demand and sought-after function bands in the country. Expect a huge repertoire of hits spanning across 5 decades, and their signature 4 part vocal harmonies.

Led by their devilishly handsome and talented frontman, Aidan, The Nomads take you seamlessly on a journey through foot-stomping Folk, Funk and Disco jams, Pop hits, club bangers, Indie anthems, and Rock Classics. Expect everything from raucous sing-alongs to epic guitar solos, and endless groove to keep everyone on the dance floor, with custom arrangements and medleys that bring a unique flavour to the band and will always keep you on your toes.
