Vinny Peculiar [aka Alan Wilkes] grew up in Worcestershire and trained as a nurse before signing to Manchester cult label Ugly Man records [former home to Elbow]. He’s since put out fourteen albums of literate autobiographical pop music over a twenty-year career touring band, solo and duo shows in the UK, Ireland, Europe and the US.Variously described as – ‘an under sung national treasure’ [UNCUT] – ‘a warm hearted Morrissey’ [Q Magazine] and ‘the missing link between Jarvis Cocker and Roger McGough’ [Irish Times] Past work associations include Bill Drummond [KLF] and his various bands have included ex members of The Smiths, OASIS, Aztec Camera & The Fall. He’s written and recorded as Parlour Flames, the band he formed in 2013 with ex OASIS rhythm guitarist Bonehead.
'If you ever considered Pulp to be just a little too mannered and art-school here’s the rock-literate Jarvis Cocker you can do business with’
Classic Rock ******** 8/10 Cracking pop/rock songs that reference pre-punk UK bands such as T. Rex and The Glitter Band, US Woodstock-era groups such as Jefferson Airplane, and garage/proto-punk acts such as The Chocolate Watchband seamlessly merge with sardonic, shrewd, storytelling lyrics. Yes, indeed – the decidedly astute Mister Peculiar has only gone and done it again**** 4/5 Irish Times
