Stick In The Wheel

Stick in the Wheel are a band with its origins in working-class East London, UK. It consists of vocalist and artist Nicola Kearey and Ian Carter, their producer, arranger and Dobro player. They bring a contemporary approach to folk music with raw minimalism, setting vocals to simple accompaniments and handclaps, along with progressive synths and beats informed by the street music of their heritage. Stick in the Wheel were formed by Ian Carter, Nicola Kearey, and Rachel Thomas Davies, who had previously collaborated on several projects, including the electronic group Various. The band recorded their debut release, EP1, at home, working in their own kitchens. In 2013, Davies relocated to Wales, after which Nicola Kearey took over all lead vocals and Fran Morter joined the lineup. Their second release, Cuts, appeared in 2014 and featured four traditional tracks originally recorded for BBC Radio 2, FATEA, and other folk‑focused broadcasts and compilations.
