PaNiKaTaK     
Lakeland's Fantastic Funny Famous Folk Band  -  IS NO MORE !

May 2008
Apparently ten years, more or less, is the usual life span of most 'bands' and it would appear that Panikatak is no exception.
A number of members have indicated that they have no wish to continue and it seems that resurrection is unlikely
So - as from now any programmed concerts or bookings have been cancelled

 Panikatak evolved from the Lakes School PTA beginnings of 'Doctor Birket and the Menopause' a dozen or so years ago to become a major player on the entertainment scene of South Lakeland.  In a recognition that to make any money individually out of an amateur six piece folk band - with sound gear etc. was realistic most of the concerts the band performed were in aid of local charities.  Well over £40,000 was raised  for such causes during the life of the group.

A high proportion of the material performed at concerts was home grown, with unforgettable insights into the medical world as in 'Prozac' and 'Viagra' as well as 'guest' appearances by an irreverent Scot singing of the 'Road to the Aisles' and a strangely clad Welshman singing the Welsh National Bog Snorkelling Team Anthem. A lot of this stuff is still available on cd and this web site will remain for some time to come so that bargain hunters can snap these items up before they become extremely rare and valuable as collectors items.  Peruse the Products page for such super bargains - where you can also download for free a couple of earlier hits. But remember - When they've gone - that's it !.

Weep not for the passing but recall with joy the wonderful times we had
