King Pleasure and the Biscuit Boys - Now Booking!

NOW BOOKING CELEBRATING 30 YEARS OF ROCKING, ROLLING, JUMPING, JIVING, SOUL-SHOUTING, BLUES HOLLERING AND DOWNRIGHT GOOD TIMING KING PLEASURE & THE BISCUIT BOYS ON TOUR THROUGHOUT 2018 WITH MUCH MORE OF THE SAME "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 Watch them in action here... 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. "Behind the fun and rollicking good times lies an outfit skilled enough for the horns to come on with the bite and precision of The Basie Band" - The Guardian "They're the genuine article, in full working order, dedicated to shaking you up and swinging you into the middle of next week" - The Observer For bookings, contact Tim Jennings at Big Bear Music Email: tim@bigbearmusic.com
