Hailing from the Isle of Wight, The Almighty Chancers were brought together out of a love for performing live music.
Taking raw, organic soul and seamlessly blending it with infectious melodies and harmonies they create their own distinct musical flavour. The Almighty Chancers have already made a name for themselves with their live performances which have grown to incorporate a horn section and d.j.
With some encouraging sessions recorded with Paul Butler (The Bees) under their belt, they are already enjoying transmission on foreign & local frequencies.
Since being chosen as the UK's most inspired unsigned band by Radio 1 listeners & Rob Da Bank, The Almighty Chancers have enjoyed some fantastic and inspirational support slots including; Roy Ayers, The Peas, New Master Sounds, Scratch Perverts & The Cuban Brothers as well as slots for the Isle of Wight Festival and Bestival.
Keep on keepin on!
