The Conway Story

The Conway Story are Nik Owens (vocals/guitar), Jimmy Kerr (guitar), Russ Dyer (bass) Lenin Alegria (drums) and Nicholas Hirst (keys).

They have been together with the current line-up since the start of 2004, hailing from various parts of the world. Vocalist and guitarist Nik Owens and keys player Nicholas Hirst are UK-grown talent, currently based in London. Guitarist Jimmy Kerr developed his skills playing rock and blues in California, Russ Dyer spent several years playing bass in Spain while Lenin Alegria first picked up drumsticks in his native Chile.

The Conway Story spent the first part of 2005 travelling the country on their debut UK tour supporting the likes of Hard-Fi and The Glitterati.  They received great single and live reviews, and have been described by the press as “the love child of the Smashing Pumpkins and Jonny Borrell from Razorlight”.  They have also received radio play from XFM, Radio 1 regional sessions, Total Rock and Kerrang Radio.

IRL released The Conway Story's 2nd single 'Ghostwriter' in June 2005 prior to the group recording their debut album.
