SOME fans think that "King Pleasure and the Biscuit Boys" are the the most authentic rhythm and blues band ever to come from outside the USA.

But a Worcestershire audience will be able to make up their own minds, because the guys have a New Year date at the Artrix in Bromsgrove.

A spokesman said: "As anyone who has followed their astonishing career knows, the band carries a guarantee of great swinging music and high entertainment value.

"This year the high-octane jump and jive band have, as always, been spreading their message throughout Europe promoting their 11th Big Bear CD, Live at Last."

The date for the diary is Saturday, January 7, from 8pm.
