Big Boss Man have been perfectly fusing 60s R’n’B, Soul, Latin, Funk and Bongo-Hammond-Fuzz since ’98.
Releasing five studio albums, and eight 7” singles, they’ve appeared on countless compilations too. The quartet’s explosive live shows are legendary, and they’ve been blasting stages since their earlier days in The Loafers, Skooby and Espadrille, now with added Roger Green (bass) and Nick Pitcher (drums) too.
As well as playing hundreds of concerts and festivals across the UK, Europe and beyond, Big Boss Man’s music may sound familiar to you, being regularly played on film and television, including Come Dine With Me, Strictly Come Dancing and I Used To Be Famous, and broadcast on BBC Radio, by presenters including Gideon Coe, Cerys Matthews and Craig Charles.
Not just that, but previous tracks have been used by Nike and The Mighty Boosh, and their official remix of Modfather Paul Weller’s single ‘The Bottle’ went straight in to the UK Top 20, and fast became a collector’s item.
In 2025, the band was invited to play at the 34th Euro Lambretta Jamboree, and thus decided to commission a new 7” for the occasion, titled ‘Lambretta Boogaloo’.
New album, ’Join The Jet Set’ is ready to be unleashed to the groovy masses. To be released consecutively with a 7” EP of album tracks ‘Don’t Take My Baby Away’ (vocal and instrumental versions) and ‘If I Had A Chance To Do It All Again’, the tracks include guest musicians Charlotte Benson on vocals, Scott Milsom on double bass and Simon Currie on saxophone.
With a bongo version of the Summer ’25 hit ‘Lambretta Boogaloo’, and a deep cover of ‘Light My Fire’, Big Boss Man continue to make what the people call ‘proper’ music, fusing a mix of Soul-fuelled 60s R’n’B, Hammond Jazz, Latin and Mod Funk!
