Following the band’s inception in London, UK in 1984–originally as The Choirboys, then TheQueerboys, before settling on the less controversial name of The Quireboys–there followed 6years of hard graft and personnel changes before the inevitable happened–a UK number 2 album.

Despite supporting a certain Guns N’ Roses at the legendary Hammersmith Odeon in London itwas 1990’s A Bit of What You Fancy that brought the band to the attention of the public at large,and featured founder member Spike on vocals and new recruit Guy Griffin on guitar. The recordshowcased no fewer than 5 hit singles–including “Hey You” which peaked at number 5 in the USBillboard Rock Chart and number 14 in the UK Singles chart.

Spike and Guy have been the backbone of THE quintessential British rock’n’roll band ever since–a journey that has seen them play to 72,000 at 1990’s Monsters of Rock at Donington with thelikes of Whitesnake, Aerosmith and Poison–supporting The Rolling Stones that same year, andjoining Guns N’ Roses again a couple of years later on their “Use Your Illusion” tour.Following their second studio album, 1993’s Bitter Sweet & Twisted, the band found the newmainstream rock landscape a difficult one–and it wasn’t until 2001 and the release of This isRock’n’Roll that they found a new lease of life.

The public’s appetite for The Quireboys had returned and hasn’t waned since–3 further studioreleases (Well Oiled, Homewreckers & Heartbreakers, Halfpenny Dancer) were released onvarious labels from 2004 to 2009 before the band found their new–and permanent–home on OffYer Rocka–the label of the renowned festival brand Hard Rock Hell.

The first 4 albums on Off YerRocka–Beautiful Curse (2013), Black Eyed Sons (2014), St Ceciliaand the Gypsy Soul (2015), and Twisted Love (2016)–have not only grown the legacy of TheQuireboys but have brought new fans to the fold. 2017’s White Trash Blues saw the band take abold move–recording a collection of iconic blues numbers but with the signature Quireboysapproach–a move that paid off with glowing reviews. Covering legends such as Muddy Waters,Chuck Berry, Freddie King and John Lee Hooker the album is a triumph of substance over style.The album produced a stunning single release–“Leaving Trunk”–a track written by Sleepy JohnEstes and made famous by the legendary Taj Mahal.

The Quireboys are certainly enjoying a revival–selling out venues around the world–with 2018also taking in The Monsters of Rock Cruise, HRH AOR VI, Sweden Rock and Stonedeaf festivals.2019 will see a brand new studio album–their 12th–as part of a pledge campaign... so be a partof the never ending Quireboys party–as there’s no sign of Spike, Guy, Keith and Paul slowingdown any time soon!
