Nic unterrichtet seit über fünfzehn Jahren Mandoline und tritt professionell auf; sein Spiel war in einer Reihe von Ensembles und Aufnahmeprojekten zu sehen, vor allem als ein Drittel des gefeierten Shackleton Trios, mit dem er ausgiebig durch Großbritannien und Europa tourte. Er hat regelmäßig mit dem außergewöhnlichen Banjo Dan Walsh (Urban Folk Quartet, Dan Walsh Trio) und seinem langjährigen musikalischen Partner Adam Clark (Nobodaddy, The Corncutters) zusammengearbeitet.
2022 veröffentlichte er sein erstes Soloalbum North Cape, das eine Reihe seiner eigenen Melodien präsentiert und von den jeweiligen Talenten von Alex Patterson (Geige), Christina Alden (Gitarre) und Calum McKemmie (Bass) unterstützt wird. Mit der Mandoline im Herzen zeigt North Cape Nics Vorliebe für das Erschaffen von zum Nachdenken anregenden, selbstgeschriebenen Melodien und Arrangements, indem er seine vielfältigen Einflüsse in eine Sammlung einzigartiger und überzeugender neuer Kompositionen einfügt, die Einflüsse aus Bluegrass, Old Time, Schwedisch und Französisch beziehen. Traditionelle bretonische Musik.

A highly original and energetic musical force just as likely to move you to tears as to move you to your feet. Frequently referred to as one of the hardest working bands in the UK, The Shackleton Trio is gaining significant UK and International exposure, becoming an in demand name on the folk circuit.
They have been featured on Mark Radcliffe's Radio 2 Folk Show and BBC Radio 4, with ★★★★★ reviews, and an appearance on Cambridge Folk Festival main stage alongside a host of UK and European festivals and international tours.
The trio feature Georgia Shackleton (fiddle, vocals), Aaren Bennett (guitar) and Nic Zuppardi (mandolin). Natural talents of the folk tradition, their self-penned material blends seamlessly with their imaginative yet authentic re-workings of traditional folk standards, influenced by British, American and Scandinavian folk traditions, with a regional twist from the group's native East Anglia.
The unique, distinctive songwriting style of Georgia Shackleton, combined with the vibrant instrumental brilliance of Aaren Bennett, Nic Zuppardi and Georgia’s pure and original voice have developed and matured through two critically acclaimed albums: The Dog Who Would Not Be Washed and new release Fen, Farm and Deadly Water. The band is currently recording their third album, due for release later in 2021.
