Rising from the cider soaked floors of Dorset's back street boozers, The Skimmity Hitchers now roam the full girth of the Westcountry and beyond. Bringing their dry and fruity blend of Scrumpy & Western music to venues, festivals and fairs, these scrumpy swillin' reprobates appeal to young and old, and everyone from folkies to cider punks, beardy badgers to shifty blaggers. The Hitchers blend razor sharp parodies and original material with a raucous stage show, spontaneous audience interaction, and general cider shenanigans. Highlights include Camp Bestival, Boomtown Fair, Watchet Festival and headline slots at the Great Dorset Steam Fair and Outcider Festival, with countless tour supports alongside The Wurzels gaining them the stamp of approval from true cider lovers everywhere.
