Nick Hudson

Nick Hudson is a singer-songwriter from Brighton in England, and is also described as a trombone soloist. He performs across England, Scotland and Ireland. His work is often described as intense, elegant and dramatic, and he records music that is noted for its experimental and reflective qualities.

Career and recording output

Hudson records prolifically and has made 13 records since 2003. Between 2004 and 2006, he writes and records seven records as part of a larger project called The Phoenix Diaries. His recording output includes The Elegy, the first record in a trilogy dealing with death, immolation and rebirth, and his first release on Kiddiepunk Records.

Writing and artistic themes

The Elegy is described as a bare, intimate record built around internal archetypes and ideas of refuge, light and hope. Hudson says it is written as a manifesto against suicide and as a way of reaching for light while distancing himself from destructive behavioural patterns he has documented in earlier songs.

Other work

Hudson is also a published author. His music appears in several experimental films by Aspen Michael Taylor, including The People Who Hate Life.
