Background notes
Archive material and source history
Billy Nicholls came up in London's folk clubs during the 1960s, playing alongside people like John Renbourn and Bert Jansch. His debut album 'Would You Believe' came out in 1966, featuring the song 'Being Happy' which became a quiet standout for its bittersweet tone.
He kept recording through the late 60s and into the 70s, putting out albums like 'After the Rain' and 'Penthouse and Pavement.' The songs often had a reflective, inward quality, built around fingerpicked guitar and plainspoken lyrics.
Nicholls never became a household name, partly because he wasn't much for self-promotion and preferred to work at his own pace. He released 'Love Songs' in 1984, and tracks like 'Daytime Girl' and 'Feeling Easy' continued in that same vein of careful, unhurried songwriting.
