The Lancashire Hustlers

The Lancashire Hustlers are made up of Brent Thorley (vocals/guitars) and Ian Pakes (vocals/drums).

Originally from Southport but now based in London, the pair have been making music together since they were teenagers.

Their seventh album 'Here But Not Here' was released in August 2025.

“Combining late ’60s and early ’70s mellow vibes their influences coalesce around a beguiling mixture of folk, blues and jazz topped off with a sprinkling of psych and prog. It's intelligent, wry and ever so slightly funky and will appeal to anyone who has enjoyed the music of Pentangle, early Steely Dan, The Kinks or Crosby, Stills, Nash & Young. They're that good.” Shindig! Magazine

“This London duo have clearly come of age on a steady diet of Magical Mystery Tour era Beatles, Arthur-era Kinks, Small Faces circa Ogden’s Nut Gone Flake and other fine influences. But there’s a pleasing DIY sensibility that suggests Cleaners From Venus with a larger budget”
Bill Kopp, Musoscribe
