Brotherhood Tour 2025
FM are very pleased to announce their 'Brotherhood' Tour kicking off in September 2025.
Formed in the 80s by the Overland brothers FM have become one of the UK's seminal Rock Bands. "From our meeting in a Notting Hill pub in 1984 to our "one-off" comeback gig at Firefest 2007, it's great to now tour beyond our 40th Anniversary shows," says FM's drummer, Pete Jupp. "Who'd have thought we'd reach such a milestone?"
FM's set will feature songs from a discography rich with classics from albums such as their 1986 debut "Indiscreet" and sophomore "Tough It Out" through to 2024's "Old Habits Die Hard".
Line-up: Steve Overland - Vocals, Merv Goldsworthy - Bass, Pete Jupp - Drums, Jem Davis - Keyboards and Jim Kirkpatrick - Guitar.
Joining FM as Special Guests we have the hotly-tipped Brave Rival, the South East's blues-rock powerhouse, bringing a fresh, fiery energy to the genre. Hailing from Portsmouth, this UK Blues Award-nominated band draws inspiration from blues and rock legends like Aretha Franklin, Heart, Fleetwood Mac, Led Zeppelin, and Tedeschi Trucks Band. Brave Rival blend classic influences with a modern edge. Whether on record or tearing up the stage, Brave Rival are a band you need to hear-and one you won't forget.
FM
Formed in 1984, FM signed to CBS (Sony) records and have toured with such luminaries as Bon Jovi, Tina Turner Foreigner, Journey and Whitesnake alongside their own headline tours. The band have released several studio albums, a live acoustic album and 'Best Of' compilation. In 1996 with the changing musical tide the band split but remained close friends. Then, in 2007 they were persuaded to reform for a one-off show at Nottingham Rock City (Firefest IV) and are still rocking strong today.

Brave Rival
Brave Rival are the South East’s rip-roaring rock and blues machine. Hailing from Portsmouth, the UK Blues Award Nominated band features the powerful and beautiful twin vocals of Chloe Josephine and Lindsey Bonnick. On lead guitar, providing dramatic guitar solos and crunching rock riffs is Ed “The Shred” Clarke. And holding it all together is the rhythmic backbone, the self-proclaimed engine room of Billy Dedman (bass) and Donna Peters (drums). Drawing influence from the likes of John Mayer, Aretha Franklin, Heart, Fleetwood Mac, Led Zeppelin and Tedeschi Trucks, Brave Rival offer a style and sound that you’ve always known, and yet never heard before.
