The British Number Nine formed in 1993 and was formed by Paul Ansell, who had previously fronted The Blue Rhythm Boys. They now have eleven albums released. On the rockabilly scene they are highly regarded and they have fans worldwide.

Smokin' country, rockin' blues, that's what this band is really about. Drawing from the old masters, and playing great songs, they don’t sound like a typical rockabilly outfit. They're different. 2.
