Vickers Vimy is an indie folk band hailing from the West of Ireland, named in homage to the pioneering spirit of Alcock and Brown's first transatlantic flight in a Vickers Vimy aircraft. The group has been crafting their sound since their inception, drawing from the rich musical heritage of Ireland and blending it with the Americana and roots influences. Their music is characterized by poetic lyricism, harmonious melodies, and a blend of traditional instrumentation with contemporary flair.

The duo at the core of Vickers Vimy is composed of songwriter Ed Drea and multi-instrumentalist Fintan Hanley, who are known for their storytelling through music. With a catalog of evocative songs, their recent releases such as "Killing The Wren" and "Waltz of the Atlantic" showcase the band's ability to capture the essence of life's journeys and the landscapes that frame them. "Where the Wildbirds Sleep" and "Bonfire of Dantes" further demonstrate their narrative depth and spirited arrangements, with each track solidifying Vickers Vimy's place in the mosaic of modern folk music. Whether it's the poignant strains of "Mermaid of Luna Park" or the reflective "Atlas of Hearts," Vickers Vimy continues to enchant an expanding audience with their heartfelt performances and intimate compositions.
