The Waltons (IOW)

The Waltons was a band from the Isle of Wight in the UK. The ska/punk/rock 5 piece fronted by Tony 'Gobbler' Gregson had one minor hit with Brown Rice (the long grain mix) in the eighties and starred in an early Colin Nutley movie shot on the island called Annika about an Island boy falling in love with a Swedish exchange student.

They were regular live performers in Ryde but never quite succeeded in breaking away from the island.

They allegedly came to blows in the late eighties whilst touring the Netherlands in an old hippy bus.
