Formed in 2011 by guitarist/composer Jon Speedy in collaboration with saxophonist/horn arranger Ian Bailey, The Boom Yeh have been deep in the groove since day one. The current line-up features musicians who have worked with Jamiroquai, The Brand New Heavies, Leroy Hutson, Alice Russell and many more. The debut album 'Reverberations To Constellations' released in 2013 followed by Vinyl E.P 'Darkstar' in 2015 and the 'Live At Hideaway London' album in 2016 all received critical acclaim and positive reviews. 'Turn It Up' - the lead tune from 'Darkstar' became a dancefloor favourite, receiving heavy rotation from respected international DJ's.
