King King

King King, a Scottish blues band formed in 2008, plays a concert at KKs Steel Mill in Wolverhampton. The text below covers the group's background, its current line-up and the venue.

King King is a Scottish blues band, formed in 2008, whose music is rooted in the blues and its traditions. Their first album, Take My Hand, was released in 2011. The group is led by Alan Nimmo, who describes the connection with the audience as the aspect he enjoys most about playing smaller venues.

The current line-up pairs Alan Nimmo with Jonny Dyke on keyboards, Zander Greenshields on bass and Jon Lodge on drums. Over recent years the group has continued working on its live performances, returning with renewed energy and a sharper sound after a difficult period for live music. Their approach is to build atmosphere with the crowd through the evening.

KKs Steel Mill stands on Frederick Street in Wolverhampton and mainly hosts concerts, with a programme centred on pop, rock and indie music. The evening offers a chance to hear a blues band in a venue whose calendar is built around those styles.
