Fliks

Fresh from the Isle of Wight Festival and as part of our International Scooter Rally weekend we welcome The Fliks

Formed by a handful of 60’s revivalists and a nickname that stuck. This group of 80’s revival mods, scooterists and long-time performers of early r&b, soul and garage have joined with new to the scene youngsters and discovered a common love of raw early jumping grooving beat pop that is infectious to both band and audience alike. Mixing up favourite numbers from all across the '60s, expect to hear tracks from cool 60's girls, Motown girls, soul girls, cute garage girls, euro-swinging girls, Spector girls and more.. Mixed together the band take great pleasure in presenting. THE BANGING BUT SOMETIMES DELICATE SOUND OF THE FLiKS

Putting their own spin on the 'Big Hair' girl sounds of the american charts and those underplayed classics from the UK's pop sirens. The band have been electrifying audiences with their stage show, growing in both popularity and presence. This strong female fronted experience is all about the sixties pop and soul sound with guitars and big Hammond organ soundscapes stuffed with bass and drums that are instantly infectious and highly danceable. It's about a love of all 60's moments and giving them new life with a twist. "What would Shirley Bassey sound like if she had recorded Goldfinger with the kinks?!?!" Well why not come along and find out! Packed with everything for fans of 60's girls and the British beat scene, if you get a chance to see THE FLiKS at any of their UK dates then do so. You will not be disappointed and you will most likely discover your new favourite band.
