The Small Fortunes

The Small Fortunes are a four-piece rock band from the North West of England. Founding members Louis Menguy and Louis James began writing together at the start of the pandemic, eventually crafting the foundation of their debut EP. Once restrictions eased, they entered Red City Studios in Manchester to record it with producer David Radahd-Jones.
The band officially formed in March 2023 with the addition of bassist Liam Clarke and drummer Chris Bloor. Together, they quickly shaped a powerful live set built around the tracks from their debut release.
Since their first live show in December 2023, The Small Fortunes have played a string of sold-out headline gigs in London and Manchester, earning a reputation for their dynamic performances and growing a loyal fanbase.
2025 is already shaping to be a breakout year, with another sold-out headline show in London behind them and confirmed festival appearances at Y Not Festival and Venice Bay Ibiza. The band has just released their debut EP and will soon begin releasing singles from their second EP, building towards a full UK tour later this year.
