Formed in early 2021, The Guest List, led by Cai Alty and comprising Angus Gilchrist, Sid Wallace, Leio Hunter, and Tom Quigley, quickly emerged to prominence in the Manchester music scene. Their self-titled debut EP, released in December 2022, showcased their melodic guitar riffs and relatable lyrics. In a short span, the band grew a social media following of over 400,000 people and nearly 8 million TikTok likes, demonstrating their widespread appeal. The infectious single ‘Steel Police’ further solidified their success, leading to a sold-out performance at the iconic Deaf Institute in Manchester. Having shared stages with The K’s, The Wombats, Two Door Cinema Club, and Seb Lowe, The Guest List’s versatility shines.
