Book tickets to BB King before Fri 31 Dec and go in the draw to win a front row upgrade.

Riley B. King - better known as BB King - has been making records and touring longer than most of his fans have been alive. For more than sixty years, he has defined the blues for a worldwide audience and is one of the last surviving links to the blues that gave birth to rock 'n roll as we know it. This man has earned every ounce of veneration he gets.

From humble beginnings as a hungry young blues man who at age 12 bought his first guitar for $15, BB King has been recording since the 1940s and has released over 75 albums, many of them classics, and won 15 Grammy® Awards. He was ranked #3 on Rolling Stone's "100 Greatest Guitarists Of All Time," and has been inducted into the Blues Foundation Hall of Fame and the Rock & Roll Hall of Fame.

In 2008, BB King released the Grammy® Award winning One Kind Favor, a new album featuring covers of old blues songs from his early influences. The set revisits the music that influenced B.B. in the 1950s, the beginning of King's extraordinary professional journey that, literally, changed the texture of modern blues playing. Having performed more than 10,000 concerts, it is clear that time has no apparent effect on BB, other than to make him more popular, more cherished and more relevant than ever. Run, don't walk, to see this international superstar prove that he can still make his beloved guitar, the wondrous Lucille, moan like nobody's business, that he can still growl in that way that all blues singers have been trying to imitate for decades, and that he can still win over a crowd.

"… his life is so inextricably tied to the blues, the road and Lucille, that you feel, as long as he keeps playing, he might go on forever. His voice boomed. His guitar playing was economical and effortless." - The Telegraph UK

"He is the King of Blues and to most of us, BB King IS the blues." - Ultimate Guitar

"The ache, the anger, the elegance and the edge of Mr. King's blues are undiminished and authentic." - The New York Times
