Sleazy Shindig #2 - Leeds

Sleazy Shindig is BACK! Once again, three sizzling UK-based stars from Spain's Sleazy Records hit the road in an almighty road show, featuring Rob Heron & The Tea Pad Orchestra, Aisha Khan & the Rajahs, and Benson Gibbons & The Sapphires.

Rob Heron & The Tea Pad Orchestra have been gleefully trampling over genre boundaries for over a decade now, chucking Rockabilly, Blues, Country, Swing, Soul and more into their musical gumbo, but always sounding mostly just like themselves.

Well-known for their energetic live shows, and dry humour, they've toured with some of the big-name Americana outfits such as Pokey LaFarge, The Dead South, and Sierra Ferrell. Aisha Khan & the Rajahs are purveyors of some of the finest Rhythm & Blues and Blues in the UK today.

Headed up by London's undisputed queen of R&B, Aisha Khan and boasting a top notch band of musicians with a musical lineage stretching back for three decades. Stellar original songs, classic covers and extreme sass. If you didn't come to party, don't bother knocking on their door!

Benson Gibbons & The Sapphires are a fresh outfit bringing the hip-shaking sounds of 1950s and 60s Rhythm & Blues and Rock 'n'Roll into the present day.

Led by frontman Chris 'Benson'Gibbons, the group pulls from the traditions of artists such as; James Brown, Johnny 'Guitar'Watson, Little Richard, Freddie King, Chuck Berry, and the many who have come before and since.

All the while, Benson Gibbons & The Sapphires aim to bring their own energy to every tune, whether it's their twist on an old favourite, or a original song of their own.
