Nice Pear Biography

NICE PEAR, a duo with over 25 years experience in live music

Tim and Steve first met in 1979 at Amberley Folk Club in West Sussex, and have both played in various bands over the years.

In 2001, Steve made a move from a career in the commercial world to one of performing and teaching guitar. At about the same time, Tim found some time available between jobs and decided that he'd missed playing too much. Then a chance meeting between the two led to the tentative formation of NICE PEAR (originally spelt NICE PAIR but adjusted to avoid embarrassment to potential brides and persons of a sensitive disposition!)

Starting out as just two vocals and guitars, NICE PEAR quickly matured into an act that still comprises just the two guys, but which sounds like a full band by utilizing skillfully crafted and transparent backing tracks enabling them to deliver a BIG sound!

Today, NICE PEAR just gets busier and busier. They play everywhere, at all sorts of events including parties, clubs, pubs, company functions and weddings.
New Year's Eve 2009 saw NICE PEAR playing once again at the prestigious Amberley Castle.

The repertoire covers songs by some of the best loved artists of the last 40 plus years, including
Chuck Berry, Elvis, The Shadows, The Eagles, James Brown, Van Morrison, The Rolling Stones, Eric Clapton, Paul Weller, Status Quo, Jimi Hendrix, and much more……something for everyone!
