Big Cheese Records' house band, the "All Stars", were formed by guitarist Orlando Lund, bassists Charlie Tate and Luke Williamson (Orlando and Luke were originally part of Monkey Business,
Dorado Records' first release). Also featured are Maria Chamley on vocals and Simon Richmond (aka Palm Skin Productions) on percussion.
This well seasoned group of musicians play a unique style of Jazz-Funk with a heavy Soul influence. Although at home in the studio, the "All Stars" excell on stage as audiences in England, France, Switzerland and Italy have testified.
