The Korgis

The Korgis Time Machine Unplugged and Acoustic. Take a journey with James Warren & John Baker. Hear the stories of their musical career and songs from artists who inspired them and their own songs.

A WARNING!

This show will only run until the world ends!

As predicted in some of the themes of our 2024 double album classic UN-United Nations, the world is in a state of upheaval. We will be playing some of the big songs from those albums, as well as classics from the times BEFORE the world was about to end. Songs such as ‘If I Had You’, ‘Dumb Waiters’ AND don’t forget that we warned you 45 years ago that ‘Everybody’s Got to Learn Sometime’.

We will also be including some of the elements from the Time Machine Show, with songs from our past liaisons with Peter Gabriel, Tears for Fears and Trevor Horn. Hurry and get your tickets now, as we will not be able to perform this show after the world ends. We will sadly not be able to refund tickets should this occur. Soz!… but with love from The Korgis.

The Korgis are a British pop band known for their hit singles, ‘If I Had You’ in 1979, and “Everybody’s Got to Learn Sometime’ in 1980. The band’s original members were singer/guitarist/keyboardist Andy Davis and singer/bassist/guitarist James Warren, both former members of 1970’s group Stackridge. The Korgis of today feature original vocalist and founder member James Warren, with John Baker, additional lead vocalist from 1992. Al Steele on guitar from The Korgis 90’s live band and the 2017 comeback, multi-instrumentalist Danielle Nicholls on guitar/vocals/percussion and studio ace Paul Smith on drums

As well as being the only female member of The Korgis of ‘Everybody’s gotta learn sometime ‘ fame, Danielle Nicholls is an extraordinary artist in her own right.

Being fully immersed in the ever-evolving music industry, Danielle is a thriving independent artist featured on Radio 2’s DJ and Regency radio Mike Read’s Heritage Chart with hits such as FALL AGAIN, THOSE WORDS, RED KITE, and the list goes on!

Danielle Nicholls is a creative who is able to use self-expression beautifully through her works and is continuing her story with her beloved DNB (Danielle Nicholls Band) Her eclectic sound is deeply influenced by the likes of Carole King, Joni Mitchell, Rickie Lee Jones, and even Burt Bacharach. There’s a heavy focus on storytelling, with Danielle Nicholls able to take listeners on a unique journey through every song she writes. This was appreciated by DEAN FRIEDMAN who invited her to support him at his last concert at Acapela.

” Terrific voice! Lovely lady. Talented musician. Check her out, you won’t be disappointed.” – Mike Read. Radio 2, Regency Radio , Heritage Chart.

“Danielle Nicholls has a voice like butterscotch and writes infectious songs that never fail to delight.” – Dean Friedman

James Warren and John Baker are the lead vocalists of The Korgis.

Formed in Bath in 1978, their first hit was If I Had You (UK 13) in 1979, followed in 1980 by the worldwide smash Everybody’s Got To Learn Sometime, a certified modern-day classic which has spawned over 50 cover versions in every musical style imaginable from choral to grunge. This year it was even used in the soundtrack of Hollywood blockbuster Marty Supreme.

James started his musical career in the much-loved and decidedly eccentric British prog rock band Stackridge whose 1973 album The Man In The Bowler Hat was produced by Beatles producer George Martin.

John started in Graduate alongside Roland Orzabal and Curt Smith who later became Tears For Fears. Their first album was produced by Tony Hatch (writer of UK and US Number 1 Downtown) and came within a whisker of having a well-deserved UK hit with Elvis Should Play Ska.

Time certainly flies – James and John have now worked together in The Korgis and other musical projects for over 45 years!

In this show you will be treated to a delightful selection of their own best-loved compositions alongside inspirational songs from people they’ve worked with such as Peter Gabriel, Tears For Fears and Trevor Horn – plus a few nods to the The Beatles, The Everly Brothers, Fleetwood Mac and other life-long influences for good measure.

An evening of terrific tunes and extraordinary anecdotes not to be missed.
