Nick Franglen

Producer and classically trained multi-instrumentalist, Nick Franglen is one half of the internationally renowned electronica duo Lemon Jelly. Born in North London in 1965, Franglen followed his early days as paperboy to John Cleese and Peter Cook by becoming ‘landscape gardener to the stars’. When not getting very muddy in Trevor Horn’s garden, building ornamental bridges for Freddie Mercury or laying a new lawn for ANC president Oliver Tambo, the 1990s were mostly spent as a session musician for the likes of Primal Scream, Bjork, Pulp, and Blur. As well as producing Lemon Jelly's records he has produced albums for John Cale, Badly Drawn Boy and, most recently, Colin McIntyre, and has written scores for film and TV, including the Griff Rhys Jones’ Restoration series. His live experiences have ranged from headlining shows around the world with Lemon Jelly to performing with John Cale at the last night of Patti Smith’s Meltdown. A bad motorcycle accident curbed Nick’s love of speed and forced him to find his kicks 60 metres down, scuba diving into wrecks in the murky waters of the English Channel.
