11 Years, One Van, and No Signs of Stopping

Greetings, Buskers! 👋

Eleven years. We've been saying it to each other all week and it still doesn't feel real.

Eleven years since four lads set up on the streets of Plymouth with a cajon, a couple of guitars, and absolutely no plan whatsoever. No manager, no record deal, no idea what we were doing — just a shared love of music and the sneaking suspicion that people might actually stop and listen.

Spoiler: some of them did.

🚐 One Van. Many Miles.

If the Busketeers van could talk, it would probably ask for a long rest and an apology. Over eleven years it's carried us to festivals from Cornwall to who-knows-where, survived more late-night motorway service station stops than any vehicle should, and witnessed some truly questionable singing on the A38.

From busking pitches to Plymouth Pavilions. From the streets to Boardmasters. From open mic nights to sharing a stage with The Wailers. It's been quite a ride.

🎸 What 11 Years Actually Looks Like

It looks like Kendall, Luke, Olly and Matt still genuinely loving every minute of it. It looks like a debut album, a sold-out Halloween cover album launch, a live session with John Cornfield — the producer behind Muse and Oasis — at Sawmill Studios in Fowey. It looks like thousands of you singing along at Rock Oyster, Leopallooza, Tunes In The Dunes, and a hundred pubs and venues in between.

Most of all, it looks like you lot. The fans who've been there from the early busking days. The ones who found us at a festival and never left. The ones who bring their mates, buy the merch, and shout the words back at us louder than we sing them ourselves.

This band exists because of you. Always has.

🔥 And We're Just Getting Started

2026 is the One For All tour. New original music. Fresh merch. Bigger stages. The next chapter is well underway and honestly? We think it might be the best one yet.

So here's to 11 years. Here's to the van. Here's to every single one of you who's been part of this ridiculous, wonderful journey.

See you on the road. 🎸

Much love,

Ken, Luke, Olly and Matt 🎸

P.S. — If you've got a memory of seeing us early on — a busk, a tiny pub gig, a festival set — drop it in the comments. We'd genuinely love to read them.
