Welcome to The Official Rik King Website
RIK KING is a singer, songwriter, guitarist, bass player, musician & entertainer from Bedford, England and a former member of UK bands Chicken Inspectors, Rubberneck, Jets2June and Mental Elves. Over the years he has had the privilege of performing with some big names from the music industry. He is now bass player for the incredible blues/rock outfit THR3E, performing around the UK.
As a solo artist he is renowned not only for his vocal range but also the variety of songs he can perform in his set.
Depending on the venue, the occasion and the audience, you could hear anything from The Platters to Pink Floyd, from The Kinks to The Kaiser Chiefs, from Elvis Presley to Meat Loaf.

He specialises in a 1950s, '60s & '70s show with all the greatest hits from that era, and also performs a classic & modern rock show and a "Sounds Of The Sixties" show. For those more laid back occasions he can provide an acoustic guitar set or even a specialist show for St Patrick's Day or St George's Day (English artists through the years).
The shows are often tinged with more than a little humour, with dressing up, props and general silliness often part of the performance. His on-stage personas can include Pelvis Resley, Blues Bro, Disco Dik, Woodstock Flowers, ShoddyWaddy, Glam Rex and Rik The Rocker among others.
Rik is also available for a special Pink Floyd Show (under the name "KINGK FLOYD" featuring classic tracks from the band along with a great laser and light show for that Floyd experience).
Rik provides his own fully inclusive PA system and lights and carries public liability insurance (£10 million) for your peace of mind. He is also a member of the Guild of International Songwriters and Composers (GISC) and the Musicians' Union (MU).
