Vinny Peculiar is a Manchester based singer-songwriter; he’s released seven albums and three EPs, worked as an artist in residence with Bill Drummond [KLF, The 17] and his bands have included ex members of The Smiths, The Fall and OASIS.
Vinny writes kitchen sink confessional songs that celebrate the nuances of life and loss – from semen donation to suicide dads – the kind of songs that can make you blush and weep at the same time, confessional, poetic and compelling.
Christened ‘the Tony Hancock of Pop’ by UNCUT Magazine and a regular compere on the Glastonbury Acoustic Stage he is currently collaborating with Salford chanteuse Stella Grundy [Interstella] - the new Vinny Peculiar album ‘Sometimes I feel like a King’ is released on 4.8.09 on Shadrack and Duxbury records.
