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.
