BABAJACK - Biography

‘An intoxicating brew of Blues, Folk and Roots music’ Classic Rock Magazine

BabaJack have proved their worth many times over at festivals and venues

across Europe. They have recently appeared at some of the UK’s most prestigious

venues including the ROYAL ALBERT HALL and SHEPHERDS BUSH EMPIRE. Their

unique blend of styles makes for a great show. The combination of passion,

energy and great musicianship never fails to win over new fans and the band are

always welcomed back wherever they play.

Their last studio album RUNNING MAN brought them attention at the top of

their field. Launched in 2013, Running Man is considered one of the finest albums

of its genre to be released in recent years, and won coveted slots in the

TOP TEN ALBUMS OF 2013 for Classic Rock, Classic Rock Blues and Guitar & Bass

Magazines. And their appearance at the Royal Albert Hall in October 2014 was

recorded & broadcast by BBC Radio 2, bringing them ever greater media attention.

THEIR LATEST RELEASE - BABAJACK LIVE started life as ‘LIVE AT THE ROYAL ALBERT HALL’... Originally recorded at The RAH by the BBC for broadcast on PAUL JONES’ SHOW, it was due to be released as an album in May 2015. By the end of April IT HAD ALL FALLEN APART. A dispute ongoing between the BBC and RAH meant that the tracks could no longer be licensed to the band and all the work, time and money invested in

the album seemed to be all for nothing. However, PAUL LONG, the BBC PRODUCER

who had done the RAH recording, came to the rescue! He PULLED OUT ALL THE

STOPS to come and record BabaJack again, this time in their home town of

Malvern. And so ‘BabaJack Live’ was born again!

For BabaJack and their fans, this album is long overdue. Here you have the real

deal. BabaJack live and kicking and proving that they really have it all: the

creativity and talent to create a great studio album, and the passion and energy

to deliver a great live show!

WHAT’S NEXT?

Tireless and ever resourceful, BabaJack have built their OWN STUDIO, Kiln Barn

in Herefordshire, and they are now writing a NEW ALBUM. PAUL LONG has agreed to be

the producer for this one too. Due for release AUTUMN 2016, it’s shaping up to be their best album yet.
