The Smoking Barrels The Smoking Barrels are a three piece Alternative Blues / Rock band, originally from London, England they joined together mid 2017 as a five piece alternative band but due to unfortunate circumstances some members left, leaving the remaining members Billy Snowden (Drums, percussion) Sean Middleton (Bass) and Sam Letchford (Guitar and Vocals). As of 2018 The Smoking Barrels have increased their repertoire greatly and now mainly perform their own songs such as 'The Mutton Chop Man', 'Broadway Blues' and 'Funny How Things Happen' The Smoking Barrels have played alongside many great musicians and have played along with some well known acts, such as Led Zeppelin and The Who.

In recent months The Smoking Barrels have been expanding and working with other musicians such as Chris Daley of 'The Theme' in an effort to diversify and vary themselves even more, with some saying "it could dramatically change the London music scene" The Smoking Barrels will be recording their first album 'Time Well Spent' with UBAS records (Urban Blues Alternative soul) in mid May for a summer release. With the band quoting "All original composition with a varied mixture of genres 'Time Well Spent' is going to be a very unique sound from a unique group" Early History:

The Smoking Barrels were originally known as 'Woodstock and Two Smoking Barrels' Sam Letchford - "That was the first trial Band name which we all liked somewhat, and it just became 'The Smoking Barrels" Before the band had a name it was a five piece cover band rehearsing songs very different to the knee it would eventually. The Smiths covers and sterophonics along with plenty more that would now sound almost out of place with the now Alternative Rock Band. In late 2017 the band would finally start looking like The Smoking Barrels we know now but they had practising to do and they would have to be tight if they wanted to compete with the rest. The Band: The Guitarist Sam Letchford has written most of the lyrics himself and has an equal share in the music performed by the band as does Billy Snowden, a young drummer who's skills match both his fellow 'Barrels' and finally Sean Middleton on the bass guitar! He's a power house as there's no rhythm guitarist he makes up for that with great technique and some bass riffs that will melt ears. Just shy of being a year old this band have done amazingly let's see what the next six months can bring them.
