Popular Wigan band The Lathums announce new member

Matty Murphy has now joined the group, ahead of their UK and European tour this spring.

It comes after the band announced the departure of its bassist Johnny Cunliffe in October last year.

In a social media post, The Lathums said: “The future of The Lathums.

"We are honoured to welcome @Matty_Murphy into the Lathum’s family.

"Treat Matty as your own and we’re looking forward to a very exciting future together.”
