Timeline

1971

Nicholas John McCabe (born 14 July 1971) is an English musician, best known as being the lead guitarist of the rock group the Verve.

McCabe is the son of a bus driver father and a social worker mother and has two older brothers, Alan and Paul.

When asked what it was that inspired him to become a guitarist, he answered: "That was me, I just got a guitar, and I could play a few things on it, and I liked messing with it, and I liked making my own things up."

He attended Haydock High School, and later met Richard Ashcroft at Winstanley College.

Ashcroft described McCabe's guitar playing as sounding like "a whole other universe"; the two briefly played in a band whilst at college.

After leaving college, McCabe began a career as a quantity surveyor.

He later recalled: "I hated it. I used to sit there all day scribbling in my pad thinking about guitar sounds."

He gave this up to be part of the Verve along with Ashcroft, Simon Jones and Peter Salisbury.

McCabe was generally an aloof member, being involved in relatively few interviews.

Tensions and power struggles between McCabe and Ashcroft would later cause the band's dissolution.

1993

McCabe stands still whilst playing, with one reviewer in 1993 describing him as having "coaxed gorgeous, shimmering wodges of sound from his instrument while exuding all the enthusiasm of a man waiting for a bus."

McCabe has cited artists such as Joy Division, John Martyn and Eddie Hazel as inspirations.

He has also expressed his fondness of synthesizers and explained his 'psychedelic' sound as trying to make a guitar sound like a synthesizer by using effects pedals and valve amps.

Producer Owen Morris referred to McCabe as "without a shadow of a doubt the most gifted musician I've ever worked with", but also claimed he was "a complete and utter nightmare" to work with, saying "He'll never play the same thing twice. Now you can ask Noel Gallagher to play the same guitar line a hundred times, and as long as there's a good reason for him doing it, he'll do it. But with Nick you've got no chance. But that's what he does, y'know?"

1995

The first break-up happened in 1995 when Ashcroft left after the band's second album, A Northern Soul.

Shortly thereafter Ashcroft reformed the band without McCabe, replacing him with Simon Tong.

1997

McCabe returned home to work on his own music and spend time with his daughter until Ashcroft asked him to return in 1997, for the band's third album, Urban Hymns.

1998

Despite the album's success, McCabe left in 1998, and although the Verve continued touring without him, the band later split for the second time in early 1999.

1999

Following The Verve's split in 1999, McCabe kept a relatively low profile.

2001

In 2001, he played on "Walking Home" for John Martyn's album On the Cobbles.

2002

In 2002, he played on "Lost Broadcast" for Faultline's album Your Love Means Everything.

2004

In 2004, McCabe's remix of The Music's song "The People" appeared on their single "Freedom Fighters".

2007

In early 2007, McCabe made peace with Ashcroft, and the band reunited.

2008

A new album, Forth, was released in 2008.

2009

However, the band broke up again in 2009.

In March 2009, following the death of Martyn, McCabe discussed Martyn's music and the experience of working with him in an interview with Mojo.

In 2009 McCabe founded a new band called The Black Ships with Jones, drummer Mig Schillace, and electric violinist Davide Rossi.

2011

The Black Ships released their first EP, "Kurofune", in May 2011, and performed their debut gig at Kings College Student Union on 2 June 2011 before changing their name to Black Submarine in mid-2012.

2019

In November 2019 McCabe began releasing solo work to Bandcamp, initially as a side project called Litter and Leaves with Black Submarine member Amelia Tucker and then under his own name.

In June 2022 he released the EP "Home Is Where the Heart Is", a collaboration with Verve drummer Peter Salisbury and featuring Tucker.
