Their latest album, ‘The Queensbury House Sessions’, recorded live in a disused office block, tiny desk style, got playlisted by Jazz FM, and prompted DJ Deb Grant of BBC6 Music to say ”This band have made it onto my list of bands I intend to see as soon as I physically possibly can.’’

‘’An amazing and original band with excellent musicianship, outstanding arrangements and infectious grooves’’
– Ian Bowden, Sidmouth Jazz Festival

The Fabulous Red Diesel will sweep you off your feet, they are happiest in the middle of the audience, taking them for the ride of their lives, through latin, funk, soul, swing and even a hint of gypsy punk. Fans become friends, and everybody leaves with a smile on their face. May contain tuba.

‘’The audience loved the humour, the lyrics and the sheer musicality’’
– Black Mountain jazz Club
