Never The Bride are an English band, founded around 1991. Bristol-born vocalist Nikki Lamborn co-writes original songs with Catherine "Been" Feeney, who is the main composer, keyboard player, vocalist and occasional guitarist. Nikki and Catherine are the nucleus of the band, drawing additional members from an enviable pool of talented world-class musicians.

The band's recorded music transcends many of music's traditional genres. Venues are hand-picked for their live performances, which comprise a fusion of Rock, Blues, Country, Jazz and Soul; each live music event is a unique experience. They have played around the world, supporting, among many others, The Who, Robert Plant, ZZ Top, The Pretenders, Alice Cooper, Gary Brooker and Peter Frampton.

In 1999, they went on tour with the British Rock Symphony. The tour was organized by producer David Fishoff and launched at the Royal Albert Hall in London on 28 June 1999. After appearing at several venues in the UK, the tour continued in Europe and the United States.

In 2001, Catherine and Nikki founded their record label , shunning the major labels and choosing to self-release several successful albums, beginning with a collection of demos entitled While U Wait Vol. 1, and later moving on to release Surprise, Licensed To Bitch and Vancouver 97. The band sells directly to their diverse international fan base whilst retaining full artistic control.

In September 2004 they recorded a concert at ULU with sisters Tara McDonald & Anna McDonald on backing vocals, released as a CD album Live At ULU and a DVD For Richer For Poorer - Live And On The Road which also included revealing and often hilarious documentary footage from the European tour earlier the same year.
