Nick Barraclough (born 1951) is a British radio producer, presenter, musician and writer, who is best known for hosting shows related to specialist American music.

After a year in Manchester, he moved to London, where he produced further documentaries, Radio 2's Gloria Hunniford, and Wally Whyton's Country Club.

With an upsurge of interest in the Country genre in the early 1990s, BBC Radio 2 was keen to put together a new show which would reflect the changes in the music, and its growing popularity.

An initial run of three months was planned, but the show quickly gained an audience, so became a regular feature of Radio 2's weekly schedule.

As well as his own memoir he has written a novel based on the life of the artist Wesley West, Kin and the story of the Flying Pig, a Cambridge pub and venue, A Disorderly House.
