"IF YOU HATED THE HOUGHTON WEAVERS - YOU'LL DESPISE PANIKATAK"
After a brief separation we are now reformed and ready to upset and annoy all of a nervous disposition yet again

 Thank you all those who have expressed deep concern and regret at our recent upheavals your support and kind words has helped considerably in our resurrection.   For those new to us - Panikatak evolved from the Lakes School PTA when 'Doctor Birket and the Menopause' sang to raise money for school funds a dozen or so years ago. Panikatak soon became a major player on the entertainment scene of South Lakeland..  We soon recognised that to make any money individually out of an amateur six piece folk band - with sound gear etc. was unrealistic so most of the concerts we perform are in aid of local charities.  The occasional private booking at realistic rates and sales of products at concerts helped keep us on the road.  Well over £40,000 has been raised  for good causes during the life of the group so far and over the last few months it looked as if this was all over BUT we have been resurrected to sing another day. 
A high proportion of the material we perform at concerts is 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, to say nothing of the 'dead pets' collection of songs.  A lot of this irreverent rubbish is available on cd and who knows in the future these items may well become extremely rare and highly prized as collectors items.
