SIMON 'HONEYBOY' HICKLING printable biog page 1


Harp driven R&B from the very charismatic livewire performer 'Honeyboy' Hickling is unbeatable.


Three decades of touring and recording have honed his individual, blistering harp technique and vocal style to earn him international reputation as a virtuoso player.


He is truly a great front man, singer/harp player but also a damm fine songwriter of catchy quirky roots tunes.
Check out his CD 'Blue it'.The musical quality of the man can be judged by the company he keeps.


Past credits include three years of touring and recording with Steve Marriott, sharing lead vocals and playing the harp. Recording with Bo Diddley and playing and recording as a member of Anthony Thistlewaites (ex Waterboys) 'Blue Stars' - a band featuring Mick Taylor and the 'Kick Horns'. He has also toured as a member of Nine Below Zero1 all over Europe.


In 2001, at the London Astoria, he appeared on the Steve Marriott memorial concert alongside Paul Weller, Noel Gallagher, Midge Ure and many others and performed a show stealing version of Marriotts 'BigTrain', now released on CD and soon out on DVD.


'Honeyboy Hickling' is currently working harder than ever on the 'Never Ending Tour' with his band. Playing a mixture of tunes from his CD's plus some Chicago Blues and Chess favourites.
Watch out for his new Live release 'Blowin Thro Town', Don't miss him live! and the band is...
