Nick Kilroe decided to take up the drums at an early age, having seen his Dad with a pair of drumsticks, tapping away in his taxi cab.

He had lessons from the age of 11, and learnt his trade in the pubs and clubs around Liverpool.

He played with The Black Velvets, who released their debut album in 2005 and toured worldwide until 2007. Nick then joined Echo & The Bunnymen in 2007, fulfilling worldwide touring, television and recording commitments with the band for the next ten years.

He’s also worked with various other artists including Miles Kane, The Icicle Works, Ian McNabb and Poltergeist, to name but a few.

To this very day, you can occasionally still find Nick Kilroe drumming in his Dad’s cab.
