“The aristocrats of Rhythm & Blues" - King Pleasure are one of the most popular jazz & swing bands in the world made famous by Ronnie Scotts clubs, performing classy numbers in Louis Jordan & Eddie Cleanhead style. They have a stunning range of instrumental ability and have performed internationally giving show-stealing performances with their unique mix of 1940s Kansas City Jazz and Blues, presented with the most exciting stage performance extant. 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 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 years have gone through several line-up and name changes, several recordings and proved themselves to be the superb marketable band that they are today.
Personnel: King Pleasure (vocals, saxpophone); Lisa "Sugar" Lee (vocals track #5); Bullmoose K. Shirley (guitar); Slap Happy (double bass); Bam Bam Beresford (drums); P. Popps Martin (saxophone); Piano-Man Skan (piano, vocals).
