IT IS over a year since leading soul, funk, jazz saxophonist Snake Davis last played at Huntingdon Hall.
The Standard featured the gig after Worcester saxophonist and Snake fan Deborah Saunders was invited up onto stage to play alongside him.
It was a fabulous evening and despite a busy touring schedule, most recently with the soul singer and Strictly Come Dancing Star from M People, Heather Small, Snake is back on Saturday, July 4.
To match the success of his last show, Snake promises that this show will have a different but special line up.
Snake’s keyboard player is away for a couple of weeks so rather than bring in a replacement for the show, he decided to bring in Mark Creswell - of Burden of Paradise, Helen Watson, The Suspicions and Tanita Tikaram - on acoustic guitar. Snake is regarded as one of the best saxophonists in the music business today.
His connections in the music world are phenomenal, having played on hundreds of tracks for stars including legends such as Sir Paul McCartney, Tina Turner and James Brown, heart throbs Kylie and Robbie Williams to current favourites Amy Winehouse, Will Young and Calvin Harris to name only a few.
His manager Sally Hare said “The industry demands that we classify artists into set genres but in truth it’s impossible to put Snake in one of those boxes.
“Listening to Snake in concert is an original experience – an evening of musical entertainment that can make you want to sing, dance and drift away.”
The event starts at 8pm.
Tickets are £13.50 with concessions available and can be bought by calling 01905 611427 or online at
