Wild Eyed, Wicked And Oblivious are a great band to see live. Original, quirky with great harmonies, a wonderful sense of fun. Toe tapping, sing along songs. Their music is refreshingly different.
Folk with a hint of 60's harmonies, African rhythums, ska, steampunk a tea chest bass, and electronic wind instrument, 12 and six sting acoustic guitars, madolin and a great percussion.....Singing tales about nature, the past, peace, love, mysterious things and zulu dreams. We encourage singing along, dancing without light pollution , and a copper-waltz.
Wild Eyed, Wicked and Oblivious blend original lyrics, with tight harmonies and changing lead voices, that rise to simple repetitive choruses that can be quickly learnt, with great rhythms and strong percussion, making it impossible not to tap and dance along. The Ewi and it's the massive range of moods, combines with Islywn’s home made tea crate base... a single string held taught above a hefty rectangular sounding box, something so simple shouldn’t be so good but it is....
"listening to their skilled arrangements of songs authored from a wide musical pallet they are not completely oblivious" Folk on the Lawn
"A strangely elegant collection of eccentrics who create a world through their buoyant and instantly memorable songs. Once you have seen them once, you are a part of it." James Rees. Musican and Events Manager.
"Imagine a cross between Ian Dury, and Bob Dylan, throw in a bit of the Pogues, Waterboys and add splash of Clannad and you are half way there."
"This Band are a great sound, original, quirky, entertaining, excellent, great fun live.... Incredibly amusing to watch."
‘SING!’ Pete calls ‘C’moA hn. You know it by now, Sing!’ And we do.
On the hottest night of the year, at Folk on the Lawn....
