Check the gigs page for news of BJ solo at the Cheltenham Jazz Festival
and a Blues Collective tour of Belgium in autumn. Plus live reviews.

'Next to Jenkins, chroniclers of modern Britain such as Pulp seem like feckless dilettanti.'
Richard Cook New Statesman

'Remember to wipe that big stupid smile off your face. This shit is serious, man.'
John Lewis Time Out

 "If Clapton is God then Jenkins is the giant turtle upon whose back the entire universe stands."
Stewart Lee, Sunday Times   

"Billy Jenkins has discovered that hell is in other people...it's perceptive, grimly amusing and as original as  anything being played."
Jack Masserick, Evening Standard

"If anyone doubts the blues still has fierce life in it, this will be the place to put the record straight"
John Fordham, The  Guardian 

 "This really is contemporary urban blues - not so much the Chicago southside of the '50s  - more the desolate   shopping malls of suburbia."      
Pete Martin, Jazz UK
