Writing and rehearsing from October 2011, 3 Million started playing live in January 2012, and have quickly achieved a dedicated fanbase, and bookings across the Isle of Man in major pubs and live music venues. They already played a quite unforgettable set at the close of Port Erin Day a few years back where they kicked into Faithless’s God is a DJ just as the fireworks kicked off.It looked and sounded great!They are a 4 piece Manx band formed in the Autumn of 2011. 3 Million consists of Chris Honour on lead vocals, Joe Crookall on bass guitar and BV, Gary Smith on lead guitar and BV, and Matthew Woods on drums.

Mainly focused on writing and playing original material but enjoying throwing the odd cover in the set. The band are currently gigging around the Isle of Man hoping to head over to gig in the UK for the second time this summer.

The band’s influences include The Who, Muse, Neil Young, The Kinks, The Beatles, Oasis, Rolling Stones, Coldplay, the Vaccines, Stevie Wonder, Pink Floyd, the Foo Fighters, Queen, the Maccabees, the Libertines, Cold War Kids and Seasick Steve.
