Nicholas David Banks (born 28 July 1965) is an English drummer, a member of the British band Pulp.[1] He lives in Sheffield with his wife Sarah and two children. He is the nephew of Gordon Banks, goalkeeper of the 1966 FIFA World Cup-winning England squad.[2]
Nick started playing drums aged 14 and was inspired by Paul Cook from the Sex Pistols and Blondie's Clem Burke.[3]
In their early years he saw many of Pulp's performances in Sheffield. He eventually joined the group in 1986[3] because "they were [his] favourite band".[4]
Banks also played drums in a Sheffield-based band called Pollinates.[5]
Since 2007 he has been managing Banks Pottery, a family-owned business which was previously run by his mother. He plays regularly in Sheffield's Everly Pregnant Brothers and BigShambles and remains a member of Pulp.[6]
In 2023, Banks published a memoir entitled So It Started There, recounting his time in Pulp.[7][8]
