Nick Hemming

In 2010 Hemming was again nominated for an Ivor Novello award - one of few people to receive consecutive nominations for Best Song Musically & Lyrically - for the Leisure Society's third single Save it For Someone Who Cares.

Hemming also plays with The Climbers, alongside The Leisure Society's Christian Hardy and their childhood friend Tim West, and co-wrote some songs on their debut album The Good Ship, released in May 2010.

He penned The Leisure Society's debut single "The Last Of The Melting Snow", receiving huge critical and public acclaim and extensive radio play on Zane Lowe's Radio 1 show, Marc Riley's BBC 6 Music show, Lauren Laverne's 6 Music show and Mark Radcliffe and Stuart Maconie's Radio 2 show, where they were voted 'Record of the Week' by listeners, with a record 90% of the vote. The track has also been championed by Elbow frontman Guy Garvey, who named it his favourite song of 2008. The song was nominated for an Ivor Novello award.

Hemming wrote and performed music for the films A Room for Romeo Brass (1999) and Dead Man's Shoes (2004).
