Musical Director - Nick Frampton

Nick was born into a family whose love of music shaped his formative years and the natural progression began formally in the Church Choir - at the tender age of six. What followed was a fantastic range of stage, instrumental and choral musical experiences.

In his barbershop career he has been a Musical Director for more than thirty years serving such choruses as Wight Harmony (twice), London Pride and Guildford Harmony, before returning to the Island to take on the Wight Satin Directorship.

A founder member of the Garden Isle BHC (1977) and the West London BHC (1982); he sang competitively with Grand Slam Quartet for five years before becoming a member of the British Association of Barbershop Singers Guild of Judges. Specialising in the Presentation Category - he has been a former Category Director, Chairman of the Guild and still continues to be a certificated Judge.

He has been a faculty member of BABS Harmony College, in the Quartet Coaching Stream and is the current Performance Stream Leader.

In great demand as a judge, coach and workshop educator, he works with choruses and quartets throughout the UK and undertakes assignments in Germany, Holland, Scandinavia and Ireland.

Wight Satin are extremely pleased to have Nick as their Musical Director and his wealth of experience can only assure our future success.
