Brian Nash (born 20 May 1963, Liverpool, England) was the guitarist for 1980s pop band, Frankie Goes to Hollywood. He was otherwise known as Nasher.
Nash was an electrician when he formed the band Sons of Egypt with Peter Gill and Holly Johnson.[1] In 1980, Gill and Johnson left the band to form Frankie Goes to Hollywood, and Nash joined sometime later. The group's first single, "Relax" reached Number 1 on the UK Singles Chart in 1984. The group disbanded in 1987 after Johnson's departure.
Nash released a solo album, Ripe, in 1999. He has released a second album, Le Grande Fromage in 2002. Both albums are available from his website. He declined to take part in a 2004 Frankie reunion.[2] In 2008 he released his third album, A Lo Minimo. Nash recorded a version of "You'll Never Walk Alone" for his father's funeral service in July 2009.
