Snake Davis' Burden Of Paradise

Known as one of Europe’s top sax players, Snake Davis has a very popular following here in the Northeast. Over the years he has appeared with the likes of Heather Small and in a duo with hit maker Jim Diamond, but this April sees him in the region with Burden Of Paradise.

Burdon Of Paradise sees Snake teaming up with some old friends. Singer Helen Watson is one of the  finest singers in the UK, Helen has a unique style and strong distinctive voice, crossing the boundaries between jazz, blues, soul and folk. The two first worked together many years ago when Snake played on Helen’s Blue Slipper album, which also featured Albert Lee and members of Little Feat. They made various TV appearances together and toured Europe opening up for Joe Cocker.

Burden Of Paradise also includes Dave Bowie and Mark Creswell from The Suspicions, Dave playing double bass. Snake, Dave and Mark met at Leeds College of Music, all 3 enrolling on the jazz course on the same day, more years ago than they want to admit to. With no drummer in the line-up this is going to be an acoustic show, great songs, poignancy, passion and a lot of fun too.
