The Spitfires are a Watford based 4-piece consisting of songwriter Billy Sullivan on lead vocals and guitar, Sam Long on Bass/backing vocals, Matt Johnson on drums and George Moorhouse on keyboards. Three excellent albums – ‘Response’ in 2015, ‘A Thousand Times’ in 2016 and ‘Year Zero’ in July 2018. The last album Year Zero is the band’s best received to date reaching number 1 in the UK Independent Chart as well as reaching 8 in the UK Vinyl Chart.
The Spitfires also hit Number 1 in the UK Vinyl Singles Chart with So Long back in April 2016. The bands work ethic and acute social commentary has made this fiercely independent band one of the most popular underground success stories in the UK today. Their attitude and independent spirit has earned them a dedicated and loyal following across the UK, Germany and Europe. As well as supporting the likes of The Specials and Paul Weller, the band have also played to vast audiences at The Isle of Wight, Reading, Beautiful Days and Y Not Festivals over the last couple of summers. The Spitfires made their national TV debut on BBC’s Andrew Marr Show earlier this year, waking up Sunday morning viewers with a blistering version of the anthemic ‘Stand Down’.
The New Untouchables DJ team and guests take over after for a party through till 3am after THE SPITFIRES.
