If you’re a music lover who can never hear too much electrifying swing, jazz and rhythm and blues, look no further than King Pleasure and the Biscuit Boys. Their high-energy shows and world-class musicianship have been captivating audiences across the UK and beyond for decades. Whether you’re a die-hard jump blues devotee or a newcomer in search of an unforgettable live music experience, this bunch is not to be missed.
From humble beginnings as a group of school friends in a coffee shop in Walsall, King Pleasure have made themselves a household name in the UK and around the world with their fantastic jazz and blues rhythms, crazy on-stage antics, musical humour and total professionalism.
Unusually the original band-line up decided, over that infamous coffee, which of them was going to play what instrument. They then went out and bought the instruments and set about learning them! Originally known as Some like it Hot, they won competitions and began gigging in Birmingham, and over the ensuing 20 years have gone through several line-up and name changes, recorded 7 CDs and proved themselves to be the superb marketable band that they are today.
King Pleasure and the Biscuit Boys are revered as one of the UK’s longest serving and most loved swing bands. Founded in the mid-’80s, the band is known for high-octane, theatrical shows brimming with energy, charisma and humour.
Led by the energetic King Pleasure (Mark Skirving), the troupe sticks to the classic sounds of the 1940s and 1950s, evoking legends like Louis Jordan, Cab Calloway and Big Joe Turner.
Their performances are not just concerts; they’re experiences. Drawing audiences into the golden age of swing and jump blues with an infectious stage presence and a refusal to compromise on authenticity, they refuse to let the smoke and mirrors of our digital world dim the lights of the dance floor.
