The Waltons (British band)

The socio-political post-punk 5-piece fronted by Tony Gregson (aka Tony Walton), had one minor hit with "Brown Rice" (the long grain mix) in the mid-1980s, and starred in Annika, an early Colin Nutley film shot on the Island about a boy falling in love with a Swedish exchange student.

They were regular live performers on the Isle of Wight, but never quite succeeded in totally breaking away from the island.

They allegedly came to blows in the late 1980s whilst touring the Netherlands in an old hippy bus driven by ex-paratrooper and traveller, Sam Ganja.

They disbanded soon afterwards due to problems with drugs, alcohol and mental illness.
