About The Milk unplugged

Emerging from a bunch of sleepy commuter towns in Essex to national acclaim, The Milk crafted a sound that’s evolved from energy fuelled 60s soul to impeccable instrumentation and silken, in-the-pocket playing that hearkens back to the golden era of 1976. This quartet of childhood friends—Rick Nunn (lead vocals, guitar), Mitch Ayling (drums), Luke Ayling (bass guitar), and Dan Le Gresley (guitar)—that blend the raw emotions of their early soul sound with the sophisticated grooves of modern funk & jazz.

Over the years, The Milk has graced some of the most prestigious stages and festivals, including Glastonbury and the Isle of Wight Festival, and have delighted fans with sold-out shows at iconic venues like the Shepherds Bush Empire. Their discography now boasts three studio albums and a live album, "Live at the Union Chapel," capturing the raw, magnetic energy of their performances.

Frontman Rick Nunn's vocal prowess is a cornerstone of the band's sound. Often compared to the legendary Steve Winwood, his voice embodies the soulful spirit of the greats like Marvin Gaye and Bill Withers, bringing a heartfelt authenticity to each lyric he delivers. The Milk's performances are not just heard; they are felt deeply, resonating with an audience seeking solace in the smooth cadences of timeless music.

Tonight they translate their high production cinematic soul sound into an intimate, stripped back acoustic performance rarely seen or heard by anyone. Not to be missed.
