The Kingsize Five

About Me


We are reporters and interpreters. We have a point of view and a perspective. We have lived and we are living. We are teachers, parents, dreamers, poets, musicians, performers. We are wankers, bullshitters, pricks and arseholes. We are clowns.We have the Blues, we don’t own the Blues but this is our take on it. It’s close enough for Jazz and some of it is Jazz. White Light Fever is our story. It just happens to be a story you can dance to; we live in hope that you will dance to it with someone you like, or even love. A simple plan conceived without guile or a target market. Chin up, cheer up and listen. We are the Kingsize Five.....
