Gemma Rogers & the Mil Men

Gemma Rogers is a writer and performer, specialising in spoken word.

Her band The Mil Men came together while they all lived in a squat on Milman Road. The quids would run out of the meter so there was nothing else for it but to sit around and tell stories in the darkness – no one could afford candles either.

The tales are based on real life events. The make up of the band changes to match each venue and event.
