    Testimonials

    "Kings of the Blues gets Eden Court dancing

    The 6 piece band includes the fantastic talents of Lesley Wilson on trumpet, Nick Webb on Tenor / Alto Sax and Kassandra Louisa E’Silva on Tenor Sax, with all providing solid backing vocals which really augmented the full bands sound.

    Albert King’s Cadillac Assembly Line featured superb vocals by Lesley and Kasandra and a bit of great bit of Hammond Organ from Iain Hanna.

    Another highlight was Albert’s Tin Pan Alley – the band’s own version of this number has amassed more than 600,000 hits on social media which is remarkable.

    The show ended with a great version of, Riding with The King, which BB recorded with Eric Clapton. That got the crowd up dancing once more, before the band received a standing ovation."

    - Press & Journal September 2019

    "Jubilant atmosphere, packed to the rafters. Face melting guitar solos. A blues band in the truest sense"

    - Blues in Britain Magazine

    "So tight you couldn’t slide a Rizla between them. Great gig."

    - Ian Rankin

    "Raw sexy music, loaded with energy. - Broadway Baby 4 stars"
