Jenny Kilpatrick, vocals/ bass/whistle and
Tony Ricketts, vocals/guitar/songwriter are PORTABLE PANIC,
the PLUS is Jude Douglas, violin/vocals.
Jenny and Tony have been playing music together off and on for decades, stealing the name Portable Panic from their company.
Teenage Jenny was introduced to the Wellington folk scene by her big brother, and was known for singing British Trad. She and Tony were fixtures on the Auckland folk scene in the nineties and noughties (Easy St, Tattie Jock etc). In 2012 they moved to Wellington, where Jenny’s been busy playing bass and singing with The Madillionaires, The Eagals and The PJs, among others, while Tony went quiet for a while. Last year they decided to revive him to give his songs old and new an airing.
Tony was an Auckland singer-songwriter with a penchant for old pop songs. He wrote ‘King of the Roses’ and co-wrote with John Philip ‘Harvest Fields of Cromer’ for the TFMC 20th anniversary songwriting competition. His first group was Easy St. with Chris Price and Kerrin Worsfold before Chris moved to Wellington. Early this century he was part of a Celtic band called Tattie Jock. There have been three albums of his songs.
Jude has played or recorded with a range of musicians including Mike Harding, Cath Woodman, Wayne Gillespie, Chris Priestley, The Overdogs and Damian Wilkins, as well as making a CD of fiddle tunes, including several she composed. She teamed up with Portable Panic last year.
