Nicholas Drew is a sought-after soloist, recitalist and consort singer, working with various ensembles across the West Midlands and beyond.  He was a Choral Scholar in the Choir of Queens’ College Cambridge where he read Modern and Medieval Languages, and then sang with the renowned choir of the Parish Church of St Mary the Virgin, Nottingham, whilst studying for his Master’s degree.

Based in Birmingham, he is a regular member of Ex Cathedra, and is a Deputy Lay Clerk in the Cathedral choirs of Birmingham (St Philip’s), Worcester, Gloucester and Lichfield, and in the Schola Cantorum of Tewkesbury Abbey.  Highlights on the concert platform include: Gerontius/The Soul in “The Dream of Gerontius” with the Sinfonia of Birmingham; Evangelist in JS Bach “St John Passion” in Bath Abbey; and premiering Robert Steadman’s oratorio for tenor and chorus “The Christmas Truce” in Hereford and Paul Spicer’s “Unfinished Remembering” in Birmingham Symphony Hall. 

Away from the concert platform, he works as a fundraiser for an autism charity, enjoys running up to half-marathon distance, and follows the varying (and often contrasting) fortunes of Sheffield Wednesday and Solihull Moors FC.
