ALL PROFITS TO SUPAJAM
The more good causes in the world right now, the better.
Indie pop band, Lottery Winners are increasingly living up to their name and living the amazing pop star dream. 2025's 'KOKO', is their second No.1 album. They're heading out on a stadium tour with Robbie Williams and playing some of the best music festivals including a headline slot at This Feeling By The Sea in August.
On Friday 23rd May they play with up comers, Crystal Tides and Kay Iris, raising funds for the SupaJam Foundation charity.
Inspiring and empowering young people aged 15-26, the SupaJam Foundation overcomes the barriers they face in accessing education and pursuing careers in the music industry.
Every young person has the potential to create their own path to success.
By offering a unique blend of music therapy, counselling, mentoring, and transformative experiences, the SupaJam Foundation supports participants to reach their personal and professional goals.
It’s a philosophy that Lottery Winners’ frontman, Thomas Rylance has first-hand personal experience with.
Growing up with ADHD meant that he struggled at school. No-one believed in him or had any real plan that could help him - aside from his music teacher, Mr Asbury, who gave him a guitar and encouraged him to play in bands. Without him, Thom would never have become the man he is today: proving that a mentor is more valuable than any lottery win.
Thomas paid tribute to Mr Asbury when he spotted him in the audience at a Lottery Winners gig in Tyldesley shortly after the release of their (also) chart topping, ‘Anxiety Replacement Therapy’ album in 2023.
Emotions ran high last year, when Mr Asbury surprised Thomas by walking on stage at their Manchhester gig to present the band with their first ever gold disc.
The Lottery Winners are not the only band on the bill who are “on the up”.
Portsmouth’s Crystal Tides have been compared to Foals, Two Door Cinema Club and The Wombats: An uplifting, high-energy sound that they captured on last year’s EP ‘The Middle’. They are already hitting bigger stages and will headline London’s famed Electric Ballroom in 2026.
Vocalist Billy Gregory comments, “Music is a powerful force that shapes lives, and we believe it should be accessible to everyone. That’s why we were proud to support this incredible charity event in aid of the SupaJam Foundation. The Foundation does vital work helping young people - many facing significant challenges - not only break into the music industry but also continue their education in a meaningful way. It’s an inspiring cause, and we’re honoured to be part of something that makes such a lasting impact."
Look out for the opening set, it’s also the first date of a Summer and Autumn tour.
“We are so excited to announce that we’ve been chosen by Radio X legend John Kennedy to open up for The Lottery Winners at The De La Warr on their SupaJam Education fundraising show” (Kay Iris)
This event on 23rd May is hosted by the above mentioned music world favourite, John Kennedy in collaboration with new music champions This Feeling, the local independent brewery Lakedown Brewing Co (run by the family of The Who icon, Roger Daltrey, working together with Black Deer Festival, and the venue, De La Warr Pavilion which is a spectacular venue on the marina.
It’s all to help young people develop careers in the music industry. Sustaining placements in education, work and training, through the mental health power of music.
“To have Lottery Winners agree to support the SupaJam Foundation is just mind blowing. Music has been so important throughout the lives of these young people and with the involvement of the band, we can truly show them that it’s ok to be different. To feel different. In fact it’s actually a super power that will aid their creativity and fuel their drive to succeed.” (Rebecca Bates, SupaJam Foundation)
