Lucas Sandford is the lead singer of the indie-rock band The Rambling Club. He is also an old school friend of mine.

The band was formed back in 2018 at Southampton Solent University and they haven't looked back since. Having performed everywhere from venues in their home turf of Southampton to the Isle of White Festival. The sky is the limit.
