Geno Washington and The Yo Yo's blast out a set of fast moving R&B/Swing Blues/Soul and are The Ram Jam Band minus the brass. (L-R above) Greg Lester on guitar/backing vocals, Geno Washington on lead vocals, Geoff Hemsley on drums and Steve Bingham on bass/backing vocals.
Geno originates from Evansville in Indiana, USA and first came to England in the 1960's as part of the US Air Force. His love of Blues and Soul music soon found him jamming with local bands in and around Ipswich and eventually led him to London where he caused a sensation singing with top R & B acts Georgie Fame and the Blue Flames and Zoot Money's Big Roll Band at the legendary Flamingo Club in Soho. The rest, as they say, is history. Geno teamed up with some of London's hottest musicians and Geno Washington and the Ram Jam Band very quickly became established as the most exciting live band in Britain, regularly topping the bill over World famous artistes, as nobody in their right mind wanted to go on stage after a Geno show!
