He’s also written and recorded as Parlour Flames, the band he formed in 2013 with ex OASIS rhythm guitarist Bonehead.

With a career spanning decades, his music blends elements of indie, folk, and pop, creating a sound that is both nostalgic and refreshingly original.

Press notes n quotes….

‘The missing link between Jarvis Cocker and poet Roger McGough’ IRISH TIMES

‘If Tony Hancock had made pop records, they’d have sounded like this’ UNCUT MAGAZINE

Part Pulp, part Kinks, and very much part Peculiar, this is observational, punk-tinged songwriting at its best. HOT PRESS 

Wildly witty with abject sadness and pathos in swathes, like a warm-hearted Morrissey no less’ INDEPENDENT

‘A strange brave captivating album, matched by fascination, dark humor and warmth’ DAILY MIRROR

Crashing poppily through Vinnys world of nostalgia and insight every song stuffed to the gills with melody and eccentricity, clever, funny and wonderfully weird’ R2 MAGAZINE

Wilkes is also one of those few songwriters that can wring genuine smiles and pathos out of ordinary memories’ IRISH TIMES
