After a long break from playing live I am now playing gigs again with a band and have recently played at The Lexington, The Amersham Arms and Amp Studios.

I began my career as a musician playing guitar in the The Tea Set, a post punk band formed at Watford Art School. As part of the band I toured extensively and recorded several singles and an album. After the band broke up in 1982 I worked on a variety of projects taking in psychedelia, indie pop, alternative, folk and world music. In 1987 I recorded a solo album called The Great Indoors for the Bam Caruso label.
I took a long break from making music in 1989 and after completing a PhD became a full time lecturer at The School of Art, Architecture and Design at London Metropolitan University until 2017. As an academic I published two books and several journal articles.
I returned to music making in 2019 when I released an album of new material, A New Life Awaits You, Vol. 1, on my own label. I am currently signed to the Dimple Discs label and play live on a regular basis with my band. I have recently released a mini-album of instrumentals called The Electromagnetic Imaginary and am about to release a new album of songs, What Time Can Do..
As a photographer I teach on the BA Photography and BA Journalism at The University of West London. You can see my work in the photography section of this website. I sell prints of my work with different size prints to suit your budget. If you would like to buy a print please contact me: nickhaeffner@hotmail.com.
I live in East London with my civil partner Nicolai. We are servants to a ginger cat called Orlando.
