BJ & TABB bio:
Front man Big Jim Merriss is the charismatic, harp-playing former leader of the Red Lemon Electric Blues Band and Cracker and the Woodpeckers. He returns to his first love of rockin’
boogie blues and jump jive.

On guitar is Jim’s partner in crime for more than 20 years, Pete Wheatley, who reckons he’s clocked up more than 4000 gigs along the way. Black Country bloke Andy Harris is on double bass and vocals. Andy played his first paid gig aged 13 and says now he’s well into his 30s (cough!!) he’s finally got the hang of it.
Behind the front line sits Colin Edmonds (AKA Duke Delight) who, though rarely visible, has drummed with the likes of Ricky Cool, Flying Doctors, Red Beards from Texas and Delray
Rockets.
And joining them from a career spanning five decades and several exotic countries is piano man Ken Moore, a former member of The New Vaudeville Band.
Completing the line up is the latest arrival, Miss Jean Vincent. Jeannie made her name on the rock’n’roll/rockabilly circuit, touring Europe and Scandinavia with the likes of Bill Haley’s
Comets, Charlie Gracie and Screamin’ Lord Sutch. Some of her early records were produced by Brum legend Steve Gibbons. She says she’s delighted and honoured to now be ‘one of the Boys’.

Jim and the Boys have a wealth of quality experience and a huge catalogue of songs to
choose from, but above all ooze that feel-good factor that can only happen when everyone on stage has genuine respect and admiration for each and every one alongside them.

Miss this MISS OUT!
