King Size Slim

On Sunday 10 August, King Size Slim (Toby Barelli) brings his award-winning roots-driven sound to Waves Unplugged at Bottle Alley, Hastings. Known for blazing blues, boogie, and rhythm-n-blues performed with raw charisma, Toby Barelli has toured extensively across the UK, Europe, North Africa, Southeast Asia, and the Middle East — clocking up over 1,500 shows through his globally celebrated career.

Stripped-back to his acoustic essence, King Size Slim’s performance fuses intricate guitar work, sparking rhythm, biting sax or harmonica, and gritty vocals that aren’t afraid to tap into deeper, darker territory. Critics praise his live presence as “effortless flowing musicality” with “impeccable stagecraft,” and note how he can ignite a room with pure performance power.

Waves Unplugged is all about intimate, open-air acoustic sessions by the sea — the perfect setting for King Size Slim’s dynamic storytelling and heavy-hit blues energy.
