ABOUT
Rimski & Handkerchief glide through the festival on their marvellous musical machines - The Bicycle Piano and Double Bassicle — filling the streets with offbeat songs, joyful silliness and moments of gentle, unexpected beauty.
Featuring harmony singing, harmonica playing and horn honking.
Charming, eccentric and endlessly inventive, this roaming musical clown duo create a moving pocket of magic everywhere they wander; pausing when the crowd gather to put on a special show, before continuing on their way.
Feel free to join them on a promenade! And perhaps you'll even solve the conundrum of how Rimski manages to steer that thing!

Rimski & Handkerchief formed as a partnership in 2017; a much loved musical clown duo, chiefly known for their spellbinding duets with the Bicycle Piano & Double Bassicle.
Rimski's Bicycle Piano was established 2005, created by Oliver Cumming (Rimski himself). Having toured this extensively for twelve years, Rimski realised a long term dream by creating the Double Bassicle.
With just two weeks’ notice before the unveiling at Glastonbury Festival, he found Laura Pocket, a talented singer, double bassist and harmonica player performing at a friend’s wedding. He asked her if she liked riding bicycles, and the rest is history!
