The Milk Men Bring British Blues Rock to The Forum Darlington

The Milk Men at The Forum Darlington comes to Borough Road on Friday 13 November 2026 as Darlington Rock & Blues Club brings one of the UK’s busiest modern blues-rock bands back to the North East. The four-piece have built their reputation around original rhythm and blues with plenty of rock attack, while their live shows keep the emphasis on energy rather than treating the genre as something that belongs in a museum.

The current line-up brings together Jamie Smy on vocals, Adam Norsworthy on guitar, Lloyd Green on bass and Mike Roberts on drums. Between them there is a lot of experience across the British blues and R&B circuit. Roberts previously played with The Pirates, Green is the son of guitarist Mick Green, and Norsworthy is also known for his work with The Mustangs. That background gives the band a strong connection to classic British R&B without stopping them from writing their own material.

The Milk Men at The Forum Darlington

The gig takes place at The Forum Music Centre in Darlington on Friday 13 November. Doors open at 7.30pm, with the event scheduled to run through to 11pm. Advance tickets are £16 through the official Forum listing.

The Milk Men arrive with a sizeable catalogue behind them. Their official site notes seven albums of original material, chart success across the blues listings and repeated UK Blues Awards nominations. That gives the set room to move beyond a handful of familiar standards. The band draw from Dr Feelgood, Fleetwood Mac and harder-edged rock influences, but the strongest reason to see them live is the way those references are pushed through their own songs.

For the Darlington Rock & Blues Club crowd, it should be a natural fit. The Forum’s R&B nights regularly bring established touring players into a grassroots room, and The Milk Men’s combination of musicianship and a loose, upbeat stage style is built for that kind of setting.

Tickets and the latest event information are available from the official Forum event page. The band’s own website also carries current tour and release information.
