>Charlie Wilson's Profile | Create Your Badge



The BLBB were formed in the summer of 1998, after an impromptu session between Big John Carter and Charlie Wilson. Soon after they brought in Micky Carrol on 5 String Banjo. They were a quirky trio playing a mixture of Boogie Woogie, Ragtime and Bluegrass, and did there first gig in the Prince of Wales pub in Stoke Newington. After six months or so as a trio, they called on Double Bass player Eddie Edwards, to complete the ensemble. They then began to forge the unique sound and style they are now known for nationwide. This incarnation of the group lasted for about three years before disbanding. In 2003 Charlie and John decided to reform the group, so Charlie brought in long time music collaborator Gerry Collins on Lead Guitar. In 2004 the BLBB were invited on a tour of the UK with Bill Haley's original Comets, playing mainly theatres and ball rooms. Since then the group has been performing regularly in and around London and England, Playing many festivals and theatres, including The Hackney Empire, Wiltons Music Hall, The Americana Festival, Walthamstow Festival, Brighton Festival, The Rock'n'Roll Cinema, Wildest Cats in Town Weekender, The Rhythm Riot Weekender, The Goodwood Revival Meeting, Bricklane Festival and many other festivals and and theatres way to numerous to mention,. The boys are no strangers to live Radio, having played five sessions for the BBC and numerous co-op and independent radio stations. And they're still going strong!
