Nicky Salt
We are thrilled to welcome Nicky Salt as our new Musical Director, a role she has covered on an interim basis since January 2024.
Nicky is a highly experienced barbershop singer, judge and educator.
She was the bass of Sweet Adelines international top 3 quartet, Finesse, and well known not just for her singing, but for her entertaining mic technique during their final's packages.
Nicky is a poplar emcee and webcast host. She is the current Membership Coordinator of Sweet Adelines Region 31 (UK and The Netherlands), and serves on their Education Steering Group, Regional Faculty and Focus Group. She is also a member of Sweet Adelines International Faculty.
Whilst living in France for a few years, Nicky started up a community choir in a local town and also became director of SoundWaves chorus in The Netherlands and enjoyed many years with them until she moved back to England.
Nicky is a sought-after coach in the UK and Europe and was recently awarded the Ann Gooch Award for her contribution to the furtherance of barbershop in the worldwide area. She works with quartets and choruses and teaches classes at education events. She coaches holistically, incorporating all areas of barbershop from vocal production to characterisation and visual communication as well as rehearsal technique, goal setting & planning and the psychology behind the performance. Her humour and infectious personality as well as her passion for barbershop, make her a popular choice.
Nicky has 2 grown up boys and two gorgeous grandchildren, as well as a completely crazy cocker spaniel called Mollie (what is it they say about dogs being like their owners?!)
