The Skimmity Hitchers
Friday 11th September⋄ ⋄ Main Stage
Skimmity Hitchers blend razor sharp parodies and original material with a raucous stage show, spontaneous audience interaction, cheeky banter and general cider shenanigans. Not to mention Baz, their legendary dancing badger…
Rising from the cider-soaked floors of Dorset’s back street boozers, the Skimmity Hitchers now roam the full girth of the West Country and beyond. Bringing their dry and fruity blend of Scrumpy & Western music to venues, festivals and fairs, these scrumpy swillin’ reprobates appeal to young and old, and everyone from folkies to cider punks, beardy badgers to shifty blaggers.
In their quest to bring proper job drinkin’ music to the masses the band have stolen the show at events of all types and sizes. Notable highlights include Camp Bestival, Boomtown Fair, Watchet, Tolpuddle Martyrs Festival, Great Dorset Steam Fair, OutCider Festival and even a tour of North America, but there’s simply nowhere these four fruity fellas can’t instigate a good time!
Hundreds of headline gigs and countless appearances with their godfathers The Wurzels have gained them the stamp of approval from true cider lovers everywhere.
Give ’em a stage and a flagon of scrumpy and watch the magic unfold!
