Videos
Here are a few tracks for you to have a listen to.
Huge thanks to Pocket Jacks Films for the brilliant videos!
The Band
Chris - Vocals
Chris is the big guy with the big voice that stands at the front getting you up and dancing! He also occasionally plays tambourine...
Colin - Keyboard & Vocals
Colin brings a wealth of experience with him, both on stage and off. After touring the world Colin has found his soulful self in our rhythm section.
Dan - Guitar
Dan has been in the band for a long time. He plays guitar but has had a stint on the bass and has also had a go at singing in the past.
Emily - Vocals
An ex-professional actress and jazz band singer, Emily is now adding her considerable talents to our amazing vocal section.
Francesca - Vocals
Francesca comes from a musical theatre background. Her voice adds an extra dimension to amazing lead vocals and harmonies.
James - Drums
Scientific name: Jamesus Drumeous - Skinny and slightly scruffy around the edges, this specimen is often seen in the wild spreading a blend of funky beats and soul.
Rich - Trumpet
Rich took up playing the trumpet to get out of a double maths lesson and never looked back! He has played in bands since the age of 13 and remembers the days when everything stopped for Bingo and a meat raffle!
Sarah - Sax
Sarah plays both alto and tenor sax and is the only original member of the band left. She's been here from the start and we hope she'll be here for a long time to come.
Mason - Bass
Mason comes from a classical piano background but decided to put the ivories to the side for some soulful bass deep enough to fill any floor.
T&C
It's a bit boring, we know, but here's a few terms and conditions you agree to when booking The Fabulous BB Kings.
• A booking is considered firm on receipt of written confirmation (electronic is fine) and booking fee of £100. This fee is not returnable except in the event of TFBBK cancelling the booking. The booking fee will be deducted from the final balance.
• Final payment must be made before the date of your event if paying by BACS, or on the night if paying by cash.
• Receipts and invoices are not issued as standard, but can be on request.
• You may cancel a booking at any time by giving written notice to TFBBK, but in doing so shall forfeit any monies paid.
• We will try to accomodate your requests regarding song choice and order of play, but we reserve the right to use our own experience and judgement when writing set lists.
• It may sometimes be necessary for us to play with reduced numbers or with replacement musicians if members are unavailable to play. There will be no reduction in price if this is the case.
