Reviews of the bands work has been consistently excellent, including:- “The hardest act to follow since the parting of the Red Sea. A shot of pure and authentic Jazz and Blues from an era when Swing was King” – Paul Jones, BBC Radio2. ”To those who say that Swing is a musical form best left to Americans, prepare to be proven wrong.  This British combo is bulletproof” Atomic Magazine, New York City. “Behind the fun and rollicking good times, lies an outfit skilled enough to get the horns to come on with the bite and precision of the Basie band”. The Guardian. “King Pleasure & The Biscuit Boys are the genuine article, in full working order, dedicated to shaking you up and swinging you into the middle of next week.  A roaring band sound that comes at you like the Wabush Cannonball.  Resistance is futile.  Surrender to having a good time.” Dave Gelly, The Observer.
