Another phenomenal band are returning with their punk-folk to grace our intimate basement venue. Lots of fun! Sold out last time....Man The Lifeboats began life in a shanty-punk folk moshpit 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 6 years and 100 gigs and counting and Man The Lifeboats are an established band ploughing their furrow on the festival circuit, winning over audiences at Warwick , Swanage , Beardy Folk , Folk in a Field , Bearded Theory , Deepdale , Ragged Bear and more, drawing comparisons to Bellowhead , Waterboys , Oysterband , the Levellers , and those folk-punk heroes the Pogues .
The second album Soul Of Albion hit no27 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 Jimbob and Fruitbat fronting Fairport Convention , like The Albion Band turned up to 11 with their fiddles on fire. Tonic for these troubled times.
