We're excited with the number of shows we have booked in for the early part of this year, and they start this Sunday in Liverpool! We're delighted to be returning the Liverpool Lantern Theatre on Sunday 23rd Feb, where we had a great welcome from a very knowledgable audience last year.

They'll be a nice run of four dates in March as well which will take us all over the south-west (flood waters permitting - eek!). Check out the venues here, along with the rest of the year's dates.

All in all we are feeling the project building momentum and we continue to receive praise from extremely kind and receptive audiences everywhere we go. We hope to see you somewhere this year!

This weekend we played our last Sweet Baby James gigs of 2013, and what an amazing end to the year it was. Letchworth and Maidenhead you made us very welcome! Thank you for being so kind to us and well done for being so knowledgeable, almost managing to out-nerd us!

2013 has been a great first year for us with this project in its current format and we have loads of exciting ideas for expanding the show, making it bigger and better. Possibilities for this may include augmentation of the band, the inclusion of more songs, the addition of visual elements to accompany the music, or possibly even one of us wearing a hat. Make sure you check back here regularly to keep up-to-date with our developments, and sign up to our newsletter so we can keep you informed!

We are still confirming gigs for 2014 but so far you can expect shows in Bath, Bury, Worcester, Derby, Liverpool, Lichfield and more . . . ! Thank you whole-heartedly to everyone who has come to see us and supported us this year - it's you who makes the show work on every occasion, no mater where we go.

So we all know of Brian's talents when it comes to the music of JT but he is a versatile guy and is currently embarking on a UK tour with soul legends Jimmy James and Ben E. King. The 2 men are sharing the headline on the show so look out for it at a theatre near you throughout Aug and Sept!

Jon is also doing some theatre work on the tour of 'Hairspray', everyone's favourite 60s hit musical, when it comes to Leeds Grand Theatre w/b 26th Aug, so be sure to catch that if you're in Yorkshire!

At SBJ HQ we're focussing on getting gigs in for early 2014 - if anyone knows any of nice intimate venues near them where they think we'd go down well please get in touch!

Ok, so strctly we're into summer now, but nevertheless we had a great evening at Helmsley Arts Centre to complete our recent run of concerts. Thank you to all who came and made us feel welcome, and also for singing along heartily!

For those of you in audience wondering whether we succeeded in getting any useful video footage . . . we didn't! We now know it's best to read the instruction manual before you use a new piece of equipment! However, you can see what we did get below!

Hopefully we'll see many of you again at future shows, and if anyone can use a video camera please get in touch . . .
