Certain

The Certain project is a collective of creators, artists and musicians celebrating the eternal power of music to lift the spirit. Emerging from lockdown and driven by Algar and Nicholas’s urge to capture the optimism and eternal quality of 1960’s and 70’s pop. Algar/Nicholas’s songs showcase the stunning vocal talents of Wolverhampton artists Ange Lloyd, Amara Latchford and Taylor Stylez. Immediately embraced by BBC and local radio each release was accompanied by an animated video by artist Dan Crew, who worked with Algar/Nicholas to build a world for the characters featured in the songs. Following the interest and excitement generated from these singles, Algar and Nicholas also wrote a pilot for a screenplay featuring the collective and creating a touching comedy for them, which went on to be made into a motion comic by Dan Crew and a radio play serialised on WCRfm.

AlgarNicholas/Holmes

In this project, Algar and Nicholas join forces with seminal artist Robert Holmes (Red Guitars) creating a sound that is intimate, melodic, and achingly emotional. Robert Holmes was writer and lead singer for the Red Guitars before going solo and creating an exquisite treasure trove of songs featuring his unique voice, most recently heard performing in Paris.

In Algar Nicholas Holmes two extraordinary voices and three outstanding songwriters come together, blending shades of Dylan and Cohen with Suzanne Vega and The Maria’s while packing an emotional punch that can’t fail to move you.
