"Roadhouse Blues with a Lady's Touch"
Latest News
17 May 2012
Things have been very quiet on the kingB gig front since February
because we were preparing to go into the studio in mid-April
to record an EP of original songs. Unfortunately this had to be postponed
as our bass player and his partner were injured while on holiday in Kenya.
Both are safely back home now and the good news is they are recovering well.
We can now focus on our booked summer gigs, the first of which is in Cirencester on Friday 8 June. The following month we are back on home ground, appearing at the Charlbury Beer Festival on Saturday 14 July. In August we hope to be playing in the Woodstock Live festival (to be confirmed). Check out the details below…
