King Pleasure Sings The Blues by phil_howcroft

King Pleasure Sings The Blues

We went to the Nottingham Riverside Festival on Sunday, a free event run by Nottingham City Council.

It runs all over the weekend on the Embankment by the side of the River Trent. It has 3 stages and showcases an eclectic and diverse set of singers and bands.

This is King Pleasure who fronts the band "King pleasure and the biscuit boys". They played the final set of the day on the Monument Stage

The bands website reads "Rough, Tough and always Rocking, the legendary King Pleasure and The Biscuit Boys zany stage show sometimes belies the fact that here is the finest, most authentic Rhythm & Blues band ever to come from outside the USA". I think it is a good description.

Shot at the top end of the zoom on my little Sony RX100VII powerhouse camera.

I'm pleased with the shot
This is fabulous. You have a captured all the energy and magic of his performance!

Great portrait shot, Phil. Have never hear of the guy but he looks like he is giving all his in this part of this song.
