English pub rock group, active between 1973 - 1975. Formed by Canadian-born Philip Rambow with former Holy Rollers guitarist Guy Humphreys, bassist Ian Turrington and drummer Mike Desmarais. Their music and stage presence were a combination of the pub rock sound and visuals of glam rock.

The Winkies became Brian Eno's backing band in 1974. After touring with Eno, they signed with Chrysalis Records and recorded with Leo Lyons of Ten Years After. Guests on these recordings included Chick Churchill and Eno. This intended album was never completed, and the Winkies began work on another set, with Guy Stevens producing. Shortly after the release of their debut album, they disbanded in 1975.
