WHITESNAKE UK
The longest running, hardest working tribute to David Coverdale’s Whitesnake…..
THE BAND
Tim Read – Vocals, Tim has been fronting the exciting Syked, a tribute to the music of ex snake guitarist, John Sykes, however, before that he was a member of UK rockers, Chrome Molly, touring Europe with the likes of Alice Cooper & working with such music icons as Jim Lea of Slade. Tim was also a member of nwbhm lumuniaries, Demon, though most of you will know him for his decade long stint with Limehouse Lizzy. A veteran of over 1500 theatre & festival shows,Tim is also a music virtuoso & has just recently released his debut solo album entitled “Read Out Loud” to rave reviews including a four star award from Planet Rock Magazine who proclaimed it “A debut album to be reckoned with !” A lifelong Whitesnake fan, Tim brings a wealth of experience & a monstrous powerhouse vocal range to wsuk.
Danny Lee James
Greg Darby – Guitars
Guitarists, Danny Lee James & Greg Darby are as close knit a guitar duo as you’ll find. Complementing each other’s styles with ease & finesse. From the bluesey early snake riffs to the all out thunder of latter day snake virtuosi Reb Beach, Doug Aldrich & now, Joel Hoekstra.
Both accomplished guitarists, Greg has extensive touring experience with cult band, King Rocker; whilst Danny has travelled the world as an original recording artiste & also as the guitarist in Dressed To K*ll, the world’s longest running kiss tribute.
Duncan Cook – Keyboards
Ivory tinkler & all round gifted musician, Duncan Cook is the band’s glue. Enhancing all eras of the snake’s music with his smooth keyboard skills. From the likes of Wine, Women & Song, to the flowing power of Best Years, Duncan’s keyboard wizardry will leave snake fans mesmerised.
Paul Thompson – Bass
Taking care of the low end is Paul Thompson. Having travelled the world within the festival scene for the best part of a decade he is now the driving force of the rhythm section for WSUK. Taking influence from such musicians as Steve Harris and Geddy Lee he delivers a hard hitting performance every time.
Matt Blakout – Drums
And last but by no means least….Every snake has a tail….& WSUK are extremely proud to have a tiger as its tail. Legendary Welsh glam rock icon, Matt Blakout from Tigertailz is the WSUK time keeper. Visual and exciting to watch, Matt’s experience & resume is even more impressive. Having played the world over and sharing the stage with the likes of Whitesnake themselves- and some of the most iconic names in music history- Matt commands everything from his drum stool. Seeing is believing….and Matt never fails to deliver !
