PAUL VICKERS AND THE LEG.....Perform

Itchy Grumble

A Rock Opera in Progress

Edinburgh’s Post-Punk Supergroup get Serious…

Itchy Grumble is a short stump of a man but with no equal ...immortal. His immortality was sealed the day he drank the tears of witch.

Down on the docks Itchy found a place he could work undetected. One day the foreman set Itchy a task that would fog the lines between witchcraft and engineering. He was asked to revolve a lighthouse on the Firth of Forth to reveal the ghostly replicate underneath.

Paul Vickers and The Leg is a reckless amalgam of the lyrical maverick behind John Peel favourites Dawn of the Replicants and Dan Mutch’s equally single-minded trio, featuring Pete Harvey (cello) and Alun Thomas (drums).

Following four singles and an album, ‘Tropical Favourites’, Itchy Grumble recorded on the isle of tiree marks a new concept in the band’s brilliant career.

"A lovable gonk/Da Vinci of lyrical invention" - Mojo magazine on Paul Vickers.

"The Leg play a hard to resist kind of indie jugband blues" -The List.

The new songs are awesome!
I still don't have Tropical Favourites but it's just a question of time. I hope this new album coming will bring some tour dates in France (like... Paris, for example) that would be great!
