King Pleasure & The Biscuit Boys

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 & Blues band ever to come from outside the USA.

Alan Barnes All Stars

The jazz festivals of Marbella in Spain and Birmingham in England enjoy a hermadad, a brotherhood.

As part of the celebration, UK's leading jazz composer and arranger Alan Barnes was commissioned to write the Marbella Jazz Suite. Alan Barnes, outrageously talented saxophonist, was given carte blanche to recruit the finest musicians in jazz, a variable dream band.

Tipitina

Tipitina formed in 2005, based in Preston, and will release their first recording on November 1st, entitled "I Wish I Was In New Orleans" on Big Bear Records [BEARDCD47]. The early reactions to the CD are overwhelming, it looks like Tipitina are on the way to establishing themselves as the next big act to emerge from the jazz, blues and soul firmament and follow in the footsteps of Jamie Cullum, Amy Winehouse, Madeleine Peyroux, Joss Stone et al..
