Nadine Somers : Milton CMC 28 9 2025

Nadine Somers began her musical career when she was just six years old playing keyboards in London clubs. By her early teens she had started singing Country songs mainly at comedy clubs working on stage alongside comedy legends including Ted Rogers, Paul Melba, Dave Evans (Lee Evans' dad) and Bobby Davro and entertaining theatre audiences as part of the Ted Rogers Show. She eventually became a dance music session singer and was signed to Pete Waterman's record label and she had two hit singles as a member of the dance band Marradona. One was called Out Of My Head released in 1994. At the age of 24 it was time for a shift in direction. Nadine became a Country singer and by late 1994 she was working in a trio as the house Country band at the Heathrow Sheraton Hotel where she had a residency working three nights a week. The other members of the band were Rob Childs (formerly with Greta and the Strayshots) and Glen Mitchell who had just left his own short lived Troubleshooters band. The Troubleshooters carried on as Blackjack fronted by Bob Keeley with Andy Saphir replacing Glen on lead guitar. At this time Glen Mitchell was about to embark on a career in Nashville so his place in the trio was taken by Geoff Hall on bass. Rob Childs started looking for other work to augment his week day commitment at the Sheraton. He was offered the chance to join The Coal Porters, fronted by one of his big country rock/Americana influences, Sid Griffin. Kentuckian Sid had relocated to Britain after his band The Long Ryders had split up. In 1998 Nadine gave up the residency and the Nadine Somers Band was launched fulltime on the country circuit. Geoff Hall was soon replaced by Bob Keeley as Blackjack also turned out to be short lived. For three years the band did very well winning numerous awards. They split in late 2000 when Nadine wanted to start a family and Rob Childs and Bob Keeley carried on as Vegas duo until 2008. Bob then quit the duo to pursue a solo career and he was replaced by Andy Saphir. In 2009 Nadine rejoined Rob, replacing Andy Saphir and Vegas became Lass Vegas but she also took solo bookings as well. In 2011 Nadine was voted female vocalist of the year and she started working in France with a French backing band called The Jackson McKay Band. It eventually proved difficult to juggle work with bringing up a family and running her own beauty business and Nadine was eventually replaced by Maria Saunders in Lass Vegas. After returning from France after seven years Nadine resumed regular live gigging in 2018 as a soloist but she also did occasional duo gigs with both Rob Childs (As Rob and Nadine) and Bob Keeley and the three of them are now once again working together as the Nadine Somers Band. Nadine has also worked with Lee J Hodgson and Steve Cherelle in a one-off band Beauty And The Beats. Nadine has won a number of CCN awards Female Vocalist in 2021, Female Vocalist and Solo Act 2022, Solo Act 2023 and Female Vocalist 2024.
