Posted on December 31, 2019
It’s that time of year again when everyone is full of turkey and chocolate, the recycle bins are full of Christmas paper and we are waiting to celebrate the start of a brand new year. So what does this time of year mean to Nick? An exciting cameo role in Gary Curtis’ Christmas charity single video. An event that Nick always looks forward to, and this year was no exception.
Many old and new friends converged at The Piano Bar, Smithfields , for a full day of shooting. Written and directed by the great Gary Curtis, this years offering is one of the best yet.
Jim Groom from Ivory Tower Productions assisted Gary in bringing this Christmas treat to our screens, featuring Caroline Munro, Johnny Kinkade, Jerome Blake, Alan Fullard… Les Malloy and Lee Williams to name just a few of its stars.
As 2019 gently draws to a close, Nick Elliott would like to wish everyone a happy and healthy New Year filled with peace and love.
“It’s been an incredible year and a year of monumental change. I would like to thank all the wonderful people that have taken time to support the Nick Elliott Brand, and all my friends for their continued support.

A personal experience of loss by nick elliott
Posted on October 30, 2019
Continuing after dark side of my mind Nick has followed up with an equally thought-provoking exploration of his personal experiences of loss.
“These images are an expression of my own experiences of personal loss. They are meant to disturb you, they’re meant to shock you, they are meant to upset you that’s what loss represents.
Nick Elliott
Nick has produced a collection of powerfully hard-hitting and disturbing images depicting his personal loss. Whilst dissecting his own feelings of loss through the years, Nick has pulled on all of his resources to create a groundbreaking, self expressive and visually shocking display of loss.
These images are like nothing ever before taken by Nick Elliott. There are a total contrast to his rock art photography, which invoke many personal emotions from the artist himself.
The self representation of these images is a total step away from anything Nick has created previously, and it takes him from the viewfinder to the front of the camera.
These images will be exhibited in selected galleries around London and Europe next year.
Going country with Keith and Jo…
Posted on October 30, 2019
Earlier this year Nick caught up with his old friend Jo Lopez at the O2 arena in London. Nick had been invited as a personal guest of Grammy award winner Keith Urban, to attend his sell-out graffiti U tour, combined with the C2C festival.
Jo Lopez was guitar tech for the big Countryman himself, which was a great opportunity for these two close friends to get together stage side before the gig. The boys soaked up the pre-gig atmosphere, whilst listening to the opening acts of Brett Eldridge and Chase Rice, who warmed the crowd up nicely. Jo has previously guitar teched for other heavyweights in the music industry including Bruce ‘the boss’ Springsteen and his E Street band.
Also present at the concert was Nick’s friend and agent Lee Williams, taking the opportunity to pick up an interview with Keith and Nick before the show.
Keith Urban rocked to the arena in his usual style he had the 21,000 strong crowd up on their feet to heel to toeing and dreaming of a road trip on Route 66.
The little pocket guard drew in the crowd and sang to everyone as if it was for their ears only. A fantastic boot tapping, Stetson wearing night.
Urbans presents on stage was mesmerising and well overdue after his 12 year absence from UK soil.
“It was a great opportunity to see these two very special guys, they are an important part of my life, and the gig was absolutely kicking. Keith Urban is a great showman”

Festival Too Kings Lynn UK…
Posted on October 20, 2019
The remarkable thing about the Kings Lynn Festival Too is not the exceptionally top quality artist’s that came to play, or the 6000+ strong crowd, or the wonderful outdoor central venue of Kings Lynn. The remarkable thing about this festival is that it’s free!

Nick took in the atmosphere and caught up with the wonderful band Cast and the charming Marty Pellow. A selection of these finished images will be showcased at the end of the year on Nick’s portfolio at nick elliott.photography
