Back on the road in 2026 Sax-man Snake and his 5-piece band are fired up and SO looking forward to this.
An instrumental solo can break hearts, lift spirits, even change lives.
Saxophone is the favourite instrument of many folk, and for good reason; so emotional, so passionate; it sings, screams, whispers.
Legendary UK saxophonist Snake Davis has played live and on record for a host of stars including The Eurythmics, Lisa Stansfield, M-People, Take That, Ray Charles. In this show he plays over 20 classics, including Baker Street, Careless Whisper, Still Crazy after all these Years, Respect, Yakety Yak, and his own solos from Million Love Songs, Moving on Up, and Lisa Stansfields “Change”.
Revealing some of their background and history as well as playing them in context. What is their individual magic ingredient, what makes these solos classic? How did they come about, how did the players produce that magic?
Sultry sax, searing, screaming, sexy, soulful sax, this show has it all. Appeals to all ages.
