The Bluekings are an established five/six piece blues combo from Yorkshire who have played together for over 10 years. Although individual influences may vary, we are blues lovers rock solid in our appreciation of a genre that is without doubt popular music's most vital and emotional.
The band have played all over Britain and have been regular performers at blues festivals such as the Colne Great Rhythm and Blues Festival and the Dundee Blues Bonanza.
The band are putting the finishing touches to their new album at the moment. In the meantime, we've put together a limited edition EP which is available for download from..
Graeme Scott from Blues Matters magazine had this to say about our 'Have a good time' EP....
"Dave King, vocals and harmonica, and his cohorts have faithfully recreated Chicago and the West Coast sound to perfection and there is not a wasted note anywhere. The music makes you want to get up out of your seat, dance, smile and just have a great time. The Walter Horton title track puts the foot to the floor from the start and it never lets up. The tracks are short and sweet, rocking jive, swing and, call it what you like, I would seriously doubt that this would fail to impress. 'Women & Cadillacs', 'Ain't Gonna Do It' and 'Pack Shack & Stack' continue the relentless pace. The twin guitar attack from Jeff Walsh and Sean Christie provide the fireworks whilst the driving force comes from Nick Leggett and Graham Allen on bass and drums. 'I'm A King Bee' and Pee Wee Clayton's 'Fiddle De Dee' end things off. I know it is just an EP at this time but, as a taster, it is just brilliant."
