Solar Nineties are honoured to announce that they are reuniting for a special performance in support of Mark Baker-Milner’s fundraising efforts for MS-UK: a national charity dedicated to empowering people affected by multiple sclerosis to live happier and healthier lives.
Mark’s wife Kerris has been recently diagnosed with multiple sclerosis and he will be running in the 2024 London Marathon for the charity. All proceeds from ticket sales will be donated towards Mark’s target of £2,000 for MS-UK.
Expect to hear the tunes you know and love mixed in with a few surprises…
Support comes from Squangey Bobbins.
Formed in early 2016, Solar Nineties are a Margate based indie rock five-piece with a catalogue of Britpop influenced songs featuring melodic vocals, chiming guitars and a driving rhythm section. Having brought the band to a close in late 2018, Solar Nineties will be reuniting for one night only in 2024 for a very special headline performance at Ramsgate Music Hall. The band is made up of Callum Bottle (Guitar), Jake Boyd (Lead Vocals), Joshua Lowe (Guitar), James Lythgoe (Bass) and Josh Marden (Drums). Solar Nineties have performed at a number of prestigious venues and festivals across London and the South East. They have released 3 singles and 2 extended plays and received airplay on BBC radio.

The album saw support from the likes of Frank Turner, The Subways and Robert Carlyle. They have also had music played on BBC radio, being likened to Foo Fighters. Their album ‘Electric Vinyl’ was picked up by HMV Thanet and was in the official HMV Recommends section. They have sold out shows at numerous local venues including the Tom Thumb Theatre, The Dugout and Elsewhere as well as performing at huge local events including Rock, Dock & 12 Smoking Barrels Festival.
