Lost Notes

The Lost Notes are a band born and based in the creatively fertile blaglands of Moseley, Birmingham UK.

They write songs about things that matter.

Like the perils of one night stands and plastic surgery, the plight of bankers, greaseballs, snakes, Greco-Roman health and safety failings, mules, mermaids and the downright miserable.The principal songwriters are Ben and Oli.

Oli likes folk and Ben digs jazz.

Both are stubborn.

So each seeks to exert their own subtle influence on the music.

The result is part folk with a drag of soul roots, a slug of gospel, or downright country with a thump of jazz around the edges.The band are: Ben Mills: vocals, guitar, piano, harmonica; Oli Jobes: lead guitar, vocals; Lucy Mills: vocals and, on a good day, cowbell.Steve Vantsis and Max Tomlinson ignore the prima donnas vying for attention out front and thump out driving rhythms on double bass and drums.They have built up a loyal fan base across the folk and festival circuit through performances at places such as Shrewsbury Folk Festival, Costa Festival, Portugal, Moseley Folk Festival, Birmingahm Symphony Hall, Bromsgrove Folk Festival, Beardy Folk Festival, The Glee Club, The Jam House, the MAC, Birmingham Conservatoire Theatre and folk clubs across the Midlands and beyond.

They have recently released their critically acclaimed third album: Good Luck Shoes, which has been played on BBC Radio, was British Country Music Associations "Editors Choice" and Album of the Week on British Country Music Radio.

They are currenlty touring the album and working on new material for the next one.
