Making a Scene Presents Gerry Casey’s Interview with “The Milk Men”

“The blues may have been born in America. But the gritty rhythm n’ blues that bands like The Yardbirds, Peter Green’s Fleetwood Mac , Dr Feelgood and so many others brought us .”

Left the listeners in no doubt this was explosive bluesy rock n’roll that shook the world all those years ago and continues to so .
Right now bands like The Milk Men are tearing it up everywhere they play.

The Milk Men are among the cream (Pardon The Pun) of a new wave of outstanding bands playing their blues and rock to ever growing appreciative audiences everywhere they play. I was privileged to catch up with the band at the Hallelujah 2 festival last year. Listen as the guys tell their own unique story of their path on their musical journey.
