Skinny Lister Announce Vintage Store Pop-Up Tour - Four London Shows In One Day!
Tuesday, 15 May 2012
Written by Jon Stickler
Crowned the hardest working band in Britain due to their unrivalled number of performances at UK festivals last year, Skinny Lister are proud to announce a personal best: four performances, four different east London venues, one afternoon. The free Vintage Store Pop-up Tour takes place on Tuesday 15th May.
Skinny Lister are Daniel Heptinstall, Lorna Thomas, Maxwell Thomas, Sam Brace and Dan Gray who came together in the summer of 2009. United by their love of folk, jigs and the outdoors, the band have been riotously swinging the festival scene since day one, notching up an impressive 30 festivals last year.
The band soon came to the attention of festival impresario and all round good egg, Rob Da Bank, who welcomed Skinny to the family fold and his Sunday Best Recordings label. It’s on this label that Skinny Lister are releasing their barnstorming debut album 'Forge & Flagon' on Monday 11th June.
Their live shows often feature a bric-a-brac merch stall, where you can treat yourself to old pocket watches, pub mirrors, tankards and a spectacular anchor or two. What better band to play a series of gigs at vintage stores? Though they’re not bringing it all with them for this mini-tour, there’ll be plenty to buy at each of the shops.
With the unrelenting, tenacious energy that carried them through their endless summer of touring, the band’s four-show extravaganza is not to be missed – come prepared for flagons of rum, armfuls of fun and the finest young folk group playing today!

Coming out a week after Skinny Lister’s debut album 'Forge & Flagon' (Monday 11th June), 'Rollin’ Over' and the b-side 'Colours' are a further taster of what’s to come following debut AA single 'Plough & Orion/If The Gaff Don’t Let Us Down'.
