Flying Pickets is a British a cappella pop group that emerged in 1982. The ensemble became known for their distinctive vocal harmonies and innovative approach to pop music performed entirely without instrumental accompaniment. Operating within the UK music scene, the group specialized in creating layered vocal arrangements that defined their sound. Flying Pickets contributed to the a cappella genre during a period when such vocal-only performances were relatively uncommon in mainstream pop music, helping to establish a cappella as a viable approach to contemporary songwriting and performance.
