The incredible 2024/5 season of the Somborne Sessions- top-quality live music at value-for-money prices in King’s Somborne Village Hall- is drawing to a close, but not before our final brilliant act. We are absolutely thrilled to welcome full-throttle alternative folk band Man The Lifeboats to the Sessions.
Hailing from London, the quartet that is Man The Lifeboats comes in the shape of Rich Quarterman (lead vocals and acoustic guitar), Harvey Springfield (mandolin and accordion), Sam Barker (bass) and Daniel Gilroy (fiddle and tin whistle). Described by Outline Magazine as ‘a stomping musical cocktail of alchemic proportions’, they craft songs with big choruses that tell stories through straight-up lyrics and pounding bass lines. Their previous appearances have included King’s Lynn’s Folk in the Town and the Dorset Jurassic Fields Festival.
For a taste of the rip-roaring foot-stomping treats ahead of you, just click on their website (www.manthelifeboats.com) and get a sneak preview of the band’s latest album, ‘Soul of Albion’. One listen will convince you this is an evening you really can’t afford to miss!
Man The Lifeboats perform at the Somborne Sessions in King’s Somborne Village Hall on Saturday 10 May 2025. Doors open at 7.30 for 8pm. Tickets are priced at £16 in advance from www.ticketsource.co.uk/sombornesessions (£18 on the night if available).
King’s Somborne Village Hall is just off the main A3057 road, which runs through the village. The postcode is SO20 6PP.
