about

"Vickers Vimy make a lovely sound, Atlas Of Hearts is an album I will be dipping into for months and years to come" John Creedon, RTÉ Radio 1



"Their unusual concoction of sounds and songs singularly stand out and effortlessly breeze musically from one side of the Atlantic to the other. The old world and the new world meet" - David Dee Moore, Fatea UK & The Acoustic Yard



"Nice REM feel to this Irish Outfit" Ken Sweeney



"Instantly timeless songs" - Here Comes The Flood



“Chicago” is the third single from the album “Atlas Of Hearts” and was inspired by the ideas of Guglielmo Marconi who transmitted wireless signals from Clifden, Co. Galway to Glace Bay in Nova Scotia. The song imagines being out on a boat in Clew Bay as a storm bears down and giant sparks from the Marconi Station appear in the distance like fireworks crackling in the clouds.

In a landscape that can truly rattle your bones and inspire your dreams Vickers Vimy continue to document in song the wonders of the Wild Atlantic.
