She is full of life… I [am] inspired by her honesty and her generosity, and I continue to be intrigued.”—T Bone Burnett “I love the girl she used to be but I think I love even more the woman she’s become. Still mischievous and playful, still a siren, but there’s an ache in her voice now that has me with a glass at my ear to the wall of her world where trouble has entered the room. There’s an erotic power here that’s not just feminine power.

As well as touring all over Europe, the middle-east, the USA and Canada, Big Boy Bloater has made numerous TV and radio appearances.

He spent a week as the house band on CH4’s Big Breakfast and has racked up many other TV and radio appearances both home and abroad. He has played in some of the most ...
