The Standard Lamps supported The Who 9 times on their 2014 and 2017 UK tours as well as supporting The Bluetones on their 2015/2016 UK tour.

2018 saw Mike working on a new album while The Standard Lamps take a short break.

Line Up

Mike Wilton is best known as being the front man of local lot 'The Standard Lamps'. Their big break came when they supported Wilko Johnson Band at The Forum.

Following this, ‘The Lamps’ (as they are affectionately known), have supported The Who on their Who Hits 50 arena tour in 2014. Reviewing them alongside The Who at Leeds, Mojo Magazine acclaimed The Standard Lamps as “Tight and bluesy”, adding that they, “At times look and sound uncannily like The Who of 40 years ago”. The Standard Lamps also supported The Bluetones at various 20th anniversary shows.

Opia Bloom

Hunting Holly are an Indie Rock band from Brighton and Kent. Known for energetic live performances of their dance-able tunes and sing-along choruses, with a punk rock edge. Their first single was released on Blizzard Records, and their debut EP will follow at the end of January.
