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]
Has written a book titled It Started There
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]
