Big Boy Bloater

2011 saw acclaimed guitarist, singer and songwriter Big Boy Bloater launch his solo career with an album full of catchy and clever self-penned material and some impressive showcase gigs. 2011 saw him as a guest on Jools Holland's BBC Radio 2 show and found him as a special guest of Imelda May at two of her big UK concerts (Roundhouse, March 2011 & Somerset House, July 2011) as well as being personally invited by Imelda to be the support for her UK tour in November '11, which was followed up by a successful headline UK tour of his own in Feb 2012.

He has had major features in national magazines Total Guitar, UK Rock & Roll, and Classic Rock Blues and in March 2012 was invited on the the Jo Whiley show on BBC Radio 2 to chat to Craig Charles. The self-titled album, 'Big Boy Bloater & The Limits', released in March 2011 (featuring special guest appearances from Imelda May and jazz-funk legend Snowboy), attracted much critical acclaim.
