| 6th Sunday | 'Burden of Paradise' featuring Snake Davis 7pm for 7.45pm start BOP3 Helen Watson Snake Davis Dave Bowie Sax man Snake hits the road in 2019 with his almost acoustic line-up “Burden of Paradise” for a series of intimate concerts. Snake played the sax solo on Take That’s “Million Love Songs”, Lisa Stansfields hits, M-Peoples hits and was part of the most recent Eurythmics world tour. BoP was formed seven years ago with three of his very favorite musician friends. Breathtaking skill, warm co-operation and witty anarchic banter. BoP invites its audience into a world of tenderness, virtuosity and human frailty. No drums. Just voice, saxophone and a pulsing engine room of double bass and guitar. BoP’s unique interpretations of evocative songs from Dylan to Dowland are spell-binding. We are all in paradise, if only we knew it. The burden is to accept it. What exactly is the Burden Of Paradise’s secret? A stylish blend of precisely 47% blues, 35% folk and 18% jazz. press contact.. 07836 608471 snakedavis@me.com "There's no arguing with claims citing Helen Watson as one of the country's premier jazz blues singers." - Live review from RONNIE SCOTTS “Snake Davis has one of the most passionate sax styles and simple bluesy approaches a-la-Sanborn heard in these isles for a while”. TIME OUT. “A virtuoso saxophonist”. DAILY TELEGRAPH “A brilliant sax player who could wail like the best American players, but was at his best weaving around slow ballads, won deserved acclaim” BLUES + SOUL “He doesn't mess about.” THE GUARDIAN “Snake is a joy to work along side. His musical skills have no limit, in fact he is as free as a bird.” DAVE STEWART (Eurythmics) “a feast of humour and great music. I felt very, very privileged.” "truly wonderful evening” “such brilliant and modest artists” Ticket Prices £15.00 - per person. This is a ticket event click for more details |
