Friday Night Blues: The Milk Men
Nominated for five UK Blues Awards and British Blues Challenge finalists, and with a Number 1 blues single and album to their name, they have earned a reputation as the one of the most dynamic and enjoyable live bands on the circuit. Their five albums of original material have seen them top both the Amazon and iTunes charts and won them ‘Best Album’ nominations, and their live shows are renowned for their electric energy and joyous sense of fun.
The Milk Men are a band made up from the cream of British R’n’B talent and pedigree.
With former Pirate Mike Roberts on drums, Lloyd Green (son of guitar legend Mick Green) on bass guitar, husky blues singer Jamie Smy on vocals, the band is rounded off on guitar by Adam Norsworthy, also known for his work with blues-scene mainstays Mustangs.
The band draws its influences from a wide range of classic bands from Dr Feelgood to Fleetwood Mac, AC/DC to Stevie Wonder. Their original music is classic blues rock, but always played with attack, energy, melody and a sense of fun.
The band has released five hugely-acclaimed albums of original material, and their latest Holy Cow! has seen the band cement its reputation as one of the UK’s premier keepers of the British Blues Rock flame when the first single from the album, One Man Band, went straight to Number 1 on the iTunes blues chart. The album itself then went on to top both the Amzon and iTunes blues album charts. The album's reviews were unanimous in their praise, with many calling it "a near-perfect" album.
The band’s third album Deliverance reached number 9 on the Amazon Top 10 Blues Chart (whilst also making the overall Top 40). The band has headlined major blues festivals all over the UK including the prestigious Great British Rock & Blues Festival in Skegness. A year later they were nominated for Best Band, Best Album and Best Vocalist. In January 2023 the band was nominated for two UK Blues Awards – Emerging Talent and Best Blues Band. In September 2023 they were one of the five bands chosen to compete in the prestigious UK Blues Challenge. As well as Skegness, they have graced the main stages of all the UK's biggest Blues Festivals including Colne, Upton, Alfold, Carlisle, Blackpool, Swanage and many more.
