John Heddle Nash 1928 - 1994 was the son of the lyric tenor Heddle Nash, one of the leading British singers of his generation. He studied with him and in London at the Guildhall School of Music under Walter Hyde and Norman Walker, first appearing at the Proms in 1951.

His repertoire consisted mainly of lighter roles - Mozart, Rossini, Johann Strauss and Lehár.
