According to band founder and lead singer, Radio 2 DJ Mark Radcliffe, The Big Figures is a "proper R&B band in the classic Dr Feelgood mould". Mark formed the band in 2009 in an attempt to see more of his best mate from his Manchester University days, PJ "Shimmy" Walmsley, who plays lead guitar in the band. Feelgood afficionados will know that The Big Figures was the drummer in the original group and that explains the name of this band, rather than any reference to the middle-aged spread experienced by certain members!

The Big Figures have performed several gigs in and around the North West, with most numbers being penned by Radcliffe, along with a couple of covers for good measure. They have a small tour planned later in 2010.
