January Blues Festival: KING KING

Scottish Blues Rock group King King formed in 2008. It may well have been high profile support slots with the likes of John Mayall's Bluesbreakers, Thunder and Europe which opened King King's music up to a much wider audience. But it was pure talent and hard work which got them there in the first place.

King King have released five studio and two live albums since 2011. At the 2014 British Blues Awards, King King won five awards including the Best Band and Best Album Awards. They swiftly followed this up by winning several awards at the British Blues Awards in 2016 including Best Album for their studio LP Reaching For The Light.

When irrepressible leader Alan Nimmo walks out on stage wearing his now trademark kilt, fists in the air and a smile as wide and resplendent as Glasgow's River Clyde itself there is no doubt in anyone's mind that they are in for one of the best nights of their life - and that's before the music has even started!
