Ben Waters is widely acknowledged as one of the most exciting piano players in Europe today. Ben’s live shows have been compared to Jerry Lee Lewis. Make no mistake about it, this is hard hitting music at its best.

Influenced by some of the finest pianists in the world, Ben initially bit the bait of Boogie Woogie. Pianists like Albert Ammonns and Meade Lux Lewis created within him a desire to own a piano. His parents obliged (not knowing that he would be shaking the house). Then the New Orleans bug struck, and the second line beat of cats like Professor Longhair and Dr John glued him to the piano stool for hours on end. Then 'bang' out of the blue - Rock n’ Roll struck. Fats Domino’s 60th birthday came on TV featuring Ray Charles and Jerry Lee Lewis and this had a profound impact on Ben’s life. He began playing gigs in pubs and clubs emulating his heroes.

Since then Ben’s name has become synonymous with excellent performance. His raunchy vocals and exuberant style have earned him a superb reputation as one of the genre's finest performers. His own style has evolved from his musical roots, and thirteen years later he has surely performed at every kind of venue imaginable and played with some of the finest musicians in the world.

Ben and the band have played together all that time, and this is evident with the rock solid Rhythm section of Chris Lonergan (Bass) and Ady Milward (drums). It's tight without being restricted. It's flowing without slopping over the top. It's like throwing a viper into a barrel of grass snakes. It squirms, it slithers, it slides and you just know the bite’s in there just waiting to come to the surface. Clive Ashley is a master of the tenor sax. His effervescent stage presence and showmanship bring a smile to the sternest of faces. These guys are not just a band.... they are old friends who have been through thick and thin together. They have a great time when they play and the emphasis is on fun.  They can turn any venue into a Kansas City barrelhouse!
