RELEASED ON MAY 16TH
We are so excited to announce that we are releasing our set from Milkfest as a live album. Out on May 16th, Live at Milkfest features 9 songs recorded completely live in mono from a two-track feed from the mixing desk. Some of the proceeds from sales will be donated to The Brain Tumour Charity.
Live at Milkfest is a good old fashioned live album like you used to hear in the 70s....it's not slick, it's not polished - it's raw, rough'n'ready and has absolutely NO OVERDUBS on it anywhere - unlike pretty much every live album you have ever heard and loved!
We grew up loving live albums such as The Who's Live at Leeds, The Stone's Get Yer Ya Ya's Out, Queen's Live Killers and Dr Feelgood's Stupidity. We wanted to capture the raw feel in the performances on those albums, and we hope Live at Milkfest does that. The difference is...ALL of those albums were overdubbed....and ours isn't.
Recorded by Leo Mansell and mastered and edited by Wayne Proctor, the album features a sensational cover photo by Paul Dubbelman, and a cameo on Hammond organ by Paul Long. Sadly Todd Sharpville's guest appearance with us had to be omitted due to a technical hitch, but at least Genghis has made the artwork! Every Milk Men album is represented on the album, which also includes a ferocious cover of The Who's Pinball Wizard.
The track listing is: 1.Shoot The Lights 2. Hungover 3.Cheap Seats 4. Fabulous 5. Give Me A Reason 6. One Man Band 7. Little Miss Attention 8. Pinball Wizard 9. She Don't Like Rock'n'Roll
The album will be preceded by a live single, Fabulous, which will come out on May 2nd. Both the single and album will be available for digital download, and 25% of all pre-order CD sales will be donated to the Brain Tumour Charity.

THE MILK MEN ARE ONE THE MOST POPULAR AND ACCLAIMED BLUES ROCK BANDS IN THE UK.
Nominated for eight 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. Their latest studio album 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 Amazon 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.
In 2025 the band founded and hosted Milkfest – an annual charity fund-raising one -day celebration of British Blues held at the Indigo at the O2 in London. Organised by guitarist Adam, the 2025 event raised over £8000 for the Brain Tumour Charity, and the second MIlkfest is scheduled for March 1st 2026. The band’s new live album, Live at Milkfest, is a completely-live souvenir recording of their opening set at the Milkfest ’25.
