Presenting a collaborative of Dorset bred musicians and vocalists, a collective of singers, actors and musicians (The Huckleberries, Yellow Taxi) with a legacy as performance artistes. Wikkaman are an onstage act and acoustic strolling band supporting arts, music festivals and open-air performance. Think dark folk cabaret with a Jurassic twist.
As ever, the band is underpinned by the enigmatic writing style of Vince and the even more enigmatic performance style of Justin (now including his Mandolin playing), and reliably aided by "dubious" Rob on guitar, and Hannah on Whistle and Recorder. Pip and Clemmy felt they'd better up they're game too and now add Trumpet and Flute (and the Melodica, sort off) to their vocals, respectively. We can now, also, happily welcome percussionist Fluff to the the Wikkaman family, with his range of crazy instruments and great big grin!
All our tracks are original compositions, a lot of which are based on historical facts (with a little artistic licence thrown in at times), and often about our beloved Dorset.
Its fun, lively and downright quirky too. Many people have said that they can't work out our 'style' of music - sometimes folk, folk/rock, kitsch cultural comment or even 'pagan punk', but always performed with theatricality and passion and never deliver by the half-measure!
