Jimmy Regal & The Royals

Nominated by the UK Blues Federation for 2024 Band of the year and album of the year, Jimmy Regal and the Royals is one of the UK’s most exciting and original bands, with growing acclaim locally and internationally. The band has had multiple plays on BBC2 Blues Hour with Cerys Matthews and IBBA Blues Radio DJ album pick for the month (First and Last Stop).

“I based the main riff for this track from something I heard one of the bands playing when I visited New Orleans. You hear this kind of thing all the time — it’s like it’s in the air”

CJ Williams

“This is just robust music in the hands of masters. The three pieces combined with occasional help deliver a pleasing sound. All the players are excellent, but Joff’s harmonica skills rank up there with the best players of today. Fans of original and nuanced blues and R&B will garner hours of enjoyment here.”
