Billy Jenkins with the Blues Collective

As a boy, Billy Jenkins (b.1956, Bromley, Kent) sang in occasional choirs at St. Paul's and Westminster Abbey, toured and recorded for legendary record label boss Clive Davis as a teenager with art rock band Burlesque (1972-77), performed as a young adult with 'alternative musical comedy' duo Trimmer & Jenkins (1979-82) and drummer Ginger Baker before founding (in 1981) the VOGC (the Voice of God Collective - 'The voice of the people is the voice of God' [attrib. Plato and others] - to which BJ adds, '...and the religion is music!' ).
