Denizens of Dorset, Weirdos of the West Country, we are the Skimmity Hitchers...

A band of brothers, blaggers and badgers, we loaded up our Skimmity wagon in the spring of 2010 and took to the road. We now roam the B-roads and back alleys of the West Country, playing old-fashioned Scrumpy & Western music with a modern edge. In pubs, festivals, weddings, parties and cider sheds you will find us singing our songs, with a smile on our face and a wink in our eye...

Everyone is welcome to join the Skimmity Hitchers party, to dance and laugh and sing along. But be prepared for much sauciness, banter and barracking too, for tis all part of the show... Some call it folk. Some call it punk. Others call it cabaret. Some simply call us a bunch of cidered-up chancers. We are all of this and more, come and see for yourselves to be sure...
