The Family Silver

The Family Silver are a British trio whose members bring decades of experience from across the UK music scene. This London concert features the band alongside very special guests, at 229 on Great Portland Street.

The Family Silver is a British trio made up of Matt Deighton, Damon Minchella and Steve White. Deighton sings and plays guitar, and his earlier credits include Mother Earth, Paul Weller and Oasis. Minchella plays bass, with a background in Ocean Colour Scene and in work with Richard Ashcroft, while White plays drums, having worked with The Style Council and Paul Weller.

The band's music draws on classic British rock, soul, psychedelia and pastoral folk. Their debut album, Electric Blend, came out in 2015, followed by the Blaze of Light EP in 2017. They have built a cult following rather than touring extensively. In 2026, Electric Blend returned in an expanded, newly mastered edition that adds rare and previously unreleased recordings.

For listeners with an interest in acid jazz, Deighton's time with Mother Earth is the most direct link. White and Minchella bring backgrounds that span mod, soul, funk and jazz. The evening is presented with very special guests and takes place at 229, a concert venue on Great Portland Street.
