Here's what their fans say...

2018 sees King Pleasure & The Biscuit Boys celebrate a remarkable 30 consecutive years on the road. Clocking up over 6500 performances in 21 countries in that time, King Pleasure & The Biscuit Boys are more than just the world’s greatest jump, jive and swing band – they’re an institution!

We recently asked the band's fans to tell us what some of their favourite memories of watching the Biscuit Boys over the last three decades are. Here's just a select few of the dozens of responses we received:

"Going to Warwick Castle to see a classic car show & discovering the band entirely by accident. They carried me away with such swing they make a trebuchet useless!"

"Cleethorpes Jazz Festival - early 1990’s. My best friend Charlotte and I were around 14 and danced from the moment you started! I’m 40 now and seen you several times since. You’re still awesome!"

"Hard to choose a favourite, because every time has been fantastic. Had some fabulous nights with my family enjoying KP & I love taking new friends to see them, knowing they are going to have a great time too. Probably my favourite has to be at the Hare & Hounds where I danced so much I couldn't walk the next day!"

"Watching them as the openers for the Blues Brothers Band. They kicked butt!!"

"Dancing with my partner between the seats because we couldn't sit still"

"First time at the Buttermarket, Shrewsbury, I was entranced and thrown back in time with the pulsating rhythm which took my breath away, and found it impossible to keep my feet still"

"I was gobsmacked with the musicianship and stage presence of these guys, great laughter as well."

"Sitting down watching the band on a Sunday at Y Not every year since we started going, best band at the festival"

You too can bring some of these good times and members of the KP Fan Army to your venue or festival - contact Tim Jennings on 0121 454 7020 to book the band (available late 2018 and throughout 2019)

"The hardest act to follow since the parting of the Red Sea" - Paul Jones, BBC Radio 2

"For those that say swing is a musical form best left to the Americans, prepare to be proven wrong. This British combo is bullet-proof" - Atomic Magazine, New York
Rough, tough and always rocking, the legendary King Pleasure & The Biscuit Boys' zany stage show sometimes belies the fact that here is the finest, most authentic rhythm and blues band ever to come from outside the USA. As anyone who has followed their astonishing career knows, the band carries a guarantee of great swinging music and high entertainment value.

2018 will be the year that King Pleasure & The Biscuit Boys celebrate a remarkable 30 years on the road. In that time they have opened shows for BB King, Cab Calloway and His Orchestra and toured with the real Blues Brothers Band - the one from the movie.
As well as 6000 performances in 21 countries, the band have also made 73 television appearances, including Blue Peter, The Teletubbies, The Gadget Show, The Paradise Club, Challenge Anneka, and Live And Kicking, where they accompanied John Barrowman in a rendition of I Get A Kick Out Of You.

King Pleasure & The Biscuit Boys will be celebrating this milestone with dates throughout 2018, with supporting media campaign, album release and print.
