Vikki Clayton at Greytown Upclose & Personal

Vikki has returned to NZ for a few months after a highly successful British summer tour in 2023 and we’ve persuaded her to do a few concerts.

Her background includes singing with Ragged Heroes, a cult Folk Rock band. After the band had broken up somebody sent Fairport Convention a copy of Vikki's album "Lost Lady Found". At the same time Jerry Donahue heard Vikki sing and was moved to tears because she sounded so much like Sandy Denny. What became of these two events was a long period of appearing with Fairport Convention, fronting the newly formed Fotheringhay - amusingly known as "The Nerve" and forming her own band featuring stellar performers Clive Bunker, Fred T Baker and Chris Conway. Vikki has appeared with: Ralph Mctell, John Martyn, Fairport Convention, Richard Thompson, and many other well known folk musicians

Six solo albums later and many appearances on other recordings Vikki moved to NZ to be with family and has continued song writing and recording. Recent reviews include: “Crystal clear vocals”, The Guardian; “No Mean Songwriter” Rock and Reel A great opportunity to hear an engaging and professional singer songwriter with a wide repertoire.

As Vikki says “At heart I'm a folk rocker"
