Founded in 2012, 'The Bobo Country Show' was a live music event put together by Ben Porter, (guitar tutor extraordinaire and all around great guy) as a way of showcasing the amazing talent of his guitar students by featuring them in a live music event alongside a band of professional session musicians. Tom Collins played a large part in the organisation of the event as well as featuring as a session musician for the performance each year.

After a triumphant first event the show successfully returned in 2013 and was re imagined in 2014 as 'The Bobo Rock n' Roll Show'. After a four year hiatus the show returned in 2018 in a new and improved format. No more session musicians covering the entire set on drums, bass, keyboards and vocals.... just a multi instrumentalist student-led performance with a couple of guest musicians supporting the students.

In 2021 (postponed from 2020) the guitar/bass/vocal/ukulele students of Ben Porter, and Drum students of Tom Collins and Tom Findlay had the opportunity to perform together LIVE in bands with the expert guidance and mentorship of their tutors after a rather interesting 18 months of learning remotely via zoom. The event was incredible and a real shift in gears for The Bobo Show, with a full professional stage and crew being hired to deliver the event to an audience of 300 people.

FOR 2022 the addition of more stalls and activities saw The Bobo Show turn in to an awesome mini festival with a real community spirit.

For 2023 we introduced the TRIBUTE set where we select a band or artist to focus our music on. We chose RED HOT CHILI PEPPERS and it went down a storm, the following year in 2024 we chose DAVE GROHL, performing songs by Nirvana, Foo Fighters and more.

2025 BOBO XL promised to be THE GREATEST SHOW ON EARTH! If you book them (the tickets) you will come! (cos you paid for a ticket!)
