Vinny Peculiar [aka Alan Wilkes] is a Manchester singer-songwriter; he’s released six albums, three EPs, a book of poems, worked as an artist in residence with Bill Drummond [KLF, The 17] and his various bands have included ex members of The Smiths, The Fall and OASIS.
He writes kitchen sink confessional songs that celebrate the nuances of life and loss – from semen donation to suicide dads – the kind of songs that make you blush and weep at the same time. His songs have also been vicariously described as poignant confessional and vaguely disturbing. Lately he’s been writing for fun…but it wont last; it never does.
A regular compere on the Glastonbury Acoustic Stage VP was christened ‘the Tony Hancock of Pop’ by UNCUT Magazine [2003].
The new Vinny Peculiar album ‘Sometimes I feel like a King’ is released on 26.6.09 [digital] and 4.8.09 [physical] on Shadrack and Duxbury records.- the first single from the album is UNIFORM [released 11/5/09- see VIDEO BELOW- single available via itunes

Edinburgh Festival Live Review
With his flat cap, florid blouse and fidgety nervous energy pitched somewhere between Andy Warhol and Jarvis Cocker, there's an anarchic elegance to Vinny Peculiar which is both at once both thrilling and faintly unsettling. The Manchester troubadour is a veteran from the city's anti-folk circuit specialising in glam-tinged kitchen sink vignettes. Storming through a set of oblique, tortured punk poetry, he wins over an initially skeptical crowd with his animated delivery and taut, frenetic pop hooks. Channeling all that eccentricity and barbed wit into something strangely compelling Vinny Peculiar is the sort of unlikely, heroic pop star they just don't seem to make anymore. *****
