Glasgow blues-rock band King King, led by singer Alan Nimmo, play The Live Rooms in Chester.
King King play The Live Rooms on Thursday 20 May, with doors opening at 19:00 and a 23:00 curfew. They're a Glaswegian rock and blues band fronted by Alan Nimmo, whose stage presence is as much a part of the show as the music: kilt, fists in the air, and a wide smile. He's played with John Mayall's Bluesbreakers, Thunder and Europe, and the band describes their sound as honest, real music that comes from the soul. Blues Rock Review has called them the best blues-rock band in the world, and they've released the album Maverick.
This isn't the line-up they started with. After about two years, the group returned with a new set of faces around Nimmo, and the biggest change is a family one: his brother Stevie Nimmo has joined on second guitar and vocals. He's backed by Jonny Dyke on keys, Jon Lodge on drums and Zander Greenshields on bass. With two guitars and vocals up front, the sound has a different weight to it than it did before.
