They roam the B-roads and back alleys of the West Country, playing old-fashioned Scrumpy & Western music with a modern edge.

Formed from the ashes of Who’s Afear’d this band of brothers, blaggers and badgers loaded up the Skimmity wagon in the spring of 2010 and took to the road. They 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, parties and cider sheds you will find them singing their songs, with a smile on their face and a wink in their 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 them a bunch of cidered-up chancers. They are all of this and more, come and see for yourselves to be sure…
