Man The Lifeboats began life in a shanty-punk folk mosh pit in 2016. Skinny Lister and Holy Moly & the Crackers were the two bands that lit the fire and blew the roof of the Garage that night. Fast forward 8 years and 100 gigs and counting and Man The Lifeboats are ploughing their full-throttle folked-up furrow on the festival circuit, winning over audiences at Moseley, Purbeck, Warwick, Swanage, Jurassic Fields, Beardy Folk, Folk in a Field, Bearded Theory, Deepdale, Ragged Bear and more, drawing comparisons to Bellowhead, Waterboys, Oyster band, the Levellers, and those folk-punk heroes the Pogues. The second album Soul Of Albion hit no. 27 in the Official Folk Charts in 2022. Recorded at Rockfield Studios, it sounds like Led Zeppelin arm-wrestling Shane McGowan in a Birmingham brewery, like Jimbo band Fruitbat fronting Fairport Convention, like The Albion Band turned up to 11 with their fiddles on fire. Tonic for these troubled times. The TJ Walker Band is fronted by Shoreham's Tom Walker but had to change his name because of the woolly-hatted, bearded pop star with the same name! He has recently supported Nik Kershaw, Big Country, The Hanging Stars, Sam Lewis and Clearwater Creedance Revival and now brings his full band to takeover The Factory Live stage in Full Force (Mike Drinkwater - Keys, Beau Barnard - Bass and Ralph Millington -Drums). TJ Walker has released 2 albums of original material, ranging in genre from Americana, Country, Blues and Classic Rock. He's a much in demand session and live guitarist with a popular Youtube channel about all things music and guitar nerdery! He has been featured as the "One to Watch" in Maverick, Europe's biggest Country Music Magazine. The highlight of Tom's guitar playing career was playing "Whole Lotta Love" in front of Jimmy Page. Afterwards Tom met Jimmy, apologised to him for having to listen to someone else playing his song to him, to which Jimmy replied, "It was quite good actually!!"ONE NIGHT, THREE ELECTRIC BANDS HEADLINED BY SHANTY-PUNK FOLK ARTIST MAN THE LIFEBOATS WITH SUPPORT FROM TOM WALKER BAND AND YOUNG STANLEY
