Phantasticus is a 5 piece high-energy gypsy-flavours ensemble hailing from Wellington, the Gypsy-Balkan capital of New Zealand.

 The lineup combines the fearless fiddling skills of Ana Christie and Alex Hills, matched by the awesome forces of Michael Kingston and Rick Shaw on guitar, all wrapped up in the powerful bass boutique of Jacqui Nyman.

With an album of delicious original tunes under their belt, Phantasticus are taking the world by storm.  These musicians are so well-seasoned they will leave you asking for ‘Kiwi-hot please’.

Mike Kingston is a key member of The Winter.  He plays guitar or cello on several fiffdimension tracks
