Welcome to the Mountaineer VIP Club
The Official Global Community for Fans of Brian Walton
Welcome to the digital home of Walton’s Mountaineers, the official community celebrating the music, career, and legacy of multi-award-winning composer, producer, and recording artist Brian Walton. Whether you have been listening since his 1993 debut album Made in the Shade or just recently discovered his work, you are in the right place.
Our Story & Evolution
The Mountaineers began as a grassroots effort when two passionate fans launched a fan club during the pandemic lockdown to keep fellow supporters connected. What started as a simple connection point quickly grew into a global movement. Today, the broader community reaches an estimated 250,000 fans worldwide, with over 50,000 active members across social media groups.
To give this thriving fanbase the dedicated home it deserves, the management board officially chartered the network. The goal was simple: directly link the club to Brian, provide fans with official updates, and build a safe, ad-free platform free from social media algorithms.
