The Rhythm Kings feat. Beverley Skeete + Otis Redding III - Stay Tuned for New Dates In 1996 a group of musicians were assembled to form a supergroup. Musicians involved in this project were numerous and
included many household names.
Players such as Peter Frampton, Graham Broad ,Gary Brooker, Geraint
Watkins ,Andy Fairweather-Low, Mike Sanchez, Georgie Fame, Frank Mead
,Martin Taylor, Nick Payn , Albert lee and Chris Stainton. The one
female addition was Beverley Skeete.Thus the Rhythm Kings were born.
Over the years the line-up changed and special guests included Dennis
Locorriere ( the voice of Dr Hook) Eddie Floyd, Mary Wilson, and Gary
U.S Bonds. Even soul legends like Solomon Burke, Ben. E. King, Percy
Sledge and Sam Moore were party to the 'Rhythm Kings' Magic.
After many years of touring members went their separate ways .but with
the success of Beverley's solo project she managed to convince some of
the original key players to join her in reforming a smaller version of
the band in order to resume touring again. After a few sold out shows it
was evident that there is still a market for excellence such as the
Rhythm Kings.
