About King Pleasure and The Biscuit Boys
Probably the leading swing, blues and rhythm and blues band on the planet – pure vintage!
With nearly seven thousand performances across twenty-seven countries under their belt in their thirty-five years on the road, King Pleasure and The Biscuit Boys are more than just the world’s greatest jump, jive and swing band – they’re an institution!
In that time, they have opened shows for BB King, Cab Calloway, Ray Charles, and toured with the Blues Brothers Band (the one from the movie), and they’ve played on thirty-six radio shows and made seventy-three television appearances.
Rough, tough and always rocking, King Pleasure and The Biscuit Boys have appeared at festivals, in concerts, and at clubs throughout the UK and Europe as well as in the U.S.A and Russia. Along the way, the band has recorded eleven albums for Big Bear Records, all distributed worldwide.
The band’s line up is: King Pleasure (vocals and baritone saxophone); Boysey Battrum (alto and tenor saxophones); Bullmoose K Shirley (guitars); Mighty Matt Foundling (piano); Shark Van Schtoop (bass); and Gary ‘The Enforcer’ Barber (percussion).
