Legendary guitarist Snowy White returns to the Northeast with a mood changing mix of rhythms and blues. Snowy marked his return to touring the UK in 2005with his highly acclaimed album The Way It Is, which was recorded with his band The White Flames and includes a new recording of his1983 hit single Bird Of Paradise, featuring Who keyboardist John 'Rabbit' Bundrick. It also covers good friend Peter Green's classic track, Black Magic Woman.

Remaining faithful to the same Gibson Les Paul guitar for 37 years, Snowy has become known for his own style of 'English Blues' - a combination of clear, clean blues phrases and harder-edged riffs that are a recognisable feature of his very personal songs.

The British born guitarist has toured extensively with  Pink Floyd promoting both the Animals and The Wall albums - he performed 'Comfortably Numb' on top of a specially created  80 foot wall in front of 350,000 people in Berlin. He also recorded two albums with Thin Lizzy, 'Chinatown' and 'Renegade'.

Snowy is joined in the White Flames by his regular band members Richard Bailey, (drums/percussion) Walter Latupeirissa, (bass) and former Jeff Beck Group member Max Middleton (keyboards). 

The show will include his excellent Bird of Paradise along with other songs from the new album plus some old favourites and blues classics. Snowy likes to mix the sounds so there is a good blend of upbeat numbers alongside those gut twisting guitar songs. Put this together with Snowy's determination never to play exactly the same set twice and it promises to be another very interesting evening!

Two excellent gigs with an especially big turn out for Hexham. Snowy was in top form as where the rest of the band.
