“Lighting up the British blues and RnB scene” – Paul Jones BBC R2

“The best New Orleans band never to come from Louisiana” –Rocking Magpie

Named after the New Orleans classic “Iko Iko” the Ikos are the band of UK piano supremo Dom Pipkin. Pipkin has performed all over the world, as a solo piano player and with artists as diverse as David Byrne, Paloma Faith, and Morcheeba.

Jamie Cullum says “I can’t hold a candle to this guy”, and godfather of modern New Orleans funk drumming Zigaboo Modeliste of the Meters says “Dom brings the whole New Orleans thing to the UK. So good!”
