Vocals - Tenor Sax - Baritone Sax
Meet The Boss. This is the bandleader and the band's driving force since its inception way back when, King Pleasure is one of the great jazz and swing performers. When the Boss Of The Blues holds sway onstage, nobody is in any doubt about who is in charge. His ebullient, joyful singing has long been the band's great trademark, his fine tenor and baritone playing are an integral part of that roaring King Pleasure & The Biscuit Boys ensemble sound that is guaranteed to swing anyone into bad health.
Tenor Sax - Alto Sax
The shores of a picturesque Swiss lake may not seem the most likely place to stumble on to one of the legendary tough Texas-style tenor players - but that's where The King discovered Boysie Battrum whips up a storm on alto as well as tenor, his ferocious playing has graced many of the best outfits around, and in recent years his honking and bar walking has been right where it belongs - featured in the hottest band in the land.
Piano
Crab-Claw graduated from the Birmingham Conservatoire with a formidable piano technique, barnstormed through a series of jazz and swing aggregations before hitting the ground running as a fully-formed Biscuit Boy. Armed with an amazing knowledge of jazz, style, flair and showmanship, Tromans is the band's ideal piano man.

Double Bass
Made-to-measure for the Biscuit Boys, The Shark's quizzical looks and nutty stage antics make him a great crowd-pleaser, but don't let that distract from the fact The Shark is a mighty fine bull fiddle player. Many wonder why he wears a seemingly permanent air of bewilderment. That's easy. He usually is bewildered!
Drums
Dangerous
Dave made his debut as a swing drummer at the age of 7, the child prodigy
powerhouse driving the Midland Youth Jazz Orchestra. At the age of 14
he auditioned for his favourite band, King Pleasure & The Biscuit
Boys, and eventually made the coveted drum chair his own in 2001. He
possesses a formidable technique, great imagination and reflexes and
a perfect, unshiftable sense of time. At the age of 22, he is already
one of this country's finest swing drummers.
