FM are pleased to announce their new full band “Brotherhood” tour for Sept 2025.

FM will perform songs from their past 14 albums including their 1984 debut album Indiscreet, plus Tough It Out, Metropolis, Synchronized and many more.

Formed in the 80's by the Overland brothers FM have become one of the UK's seminal Rock Bands. The bands current line is Steve Overland – Vocals, Merv Goldsworthy - Bass, Pete Jupp - Drums, Jem Davis – Keyboards and Jim Kirkpatrick – Guitar.

“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?”

Joining FM as special guest we have the hotly tipped Jack J Hutchinson.

Jack J Hutchinson is a British blues-rock firebrand, known for his soulful vocals, searing guitar work, and a sound that blends classic rock swagger with modern grit. Drawing inspiration from the likes of Led Zeppelin, The Rolling Stones, and The Beatles, his music channels the raw energy of vintage blues-rock while keeping one foot firmly in the present.

Hutchinson’s love for rock ‘n’ roll was ingrained early—his childhood was soundtracked by Exile on Main Street, Revolver, and The Beatles' iconic red and blue albums. But it was discovering Jimmy Page as a teenager that sealed the deal. “I bought some dragon flares and never looked back,” he recalls.

With a reputation for electrifying live shows and albums packed with riffs, hooks, and deep grooves, Hutchinson continues to carve his own path in the blues-rock world, earning a dedicated following and critical acclaim along the way.
