Nigel Stonier

In 2006 a song composed by Nigel Stonier and award winning jazz artiste Clare Teal (“Messin' With Fire”) was featured on the soundtrack of the hit British comedy movie “Confetti”, performed by Teal.

He has also collaborated with such UK roots-rock luminaries as Mike Scott (musician) of the Waterboys, Kathryn Tickell, Chris While and Rod Clements.

He was born in Cheshire, but first relocated to London when, at the age of seventeen he secured a publishing deal with Southern music, and recorded his first demos produced by Dave Cousins of Strawbs, and with arrangements by Robert Kirby, famed for his work with Nick Drake.

Following Alan Hull's death in 1995 Rod became the band's main songwriter who, in partnership with producer and co-writer Nigel Stonier, provided the bulk of material for Lindisfarne's two last albums, Here Comes The Neighbourhood (1998) and Promenade (2002).
