We are getting quite a few calls and emails from people wanting to know where they recognise Snake from? And also about the line-ups for certain gigs listed on this page. Snake has appeared live with M-People, Eurythmics, Lisa Stansfield, Acoustic Alchemy etc. etc. as well as numerous tv appearances. His unique sax sound has found it's way onto many classic hits such as, M-People's "Moving On Up" and "Search For A Hero", Take That's "A Million Love Songs" and Lisa Stansfield's "Change"

The Snake Davis Band

To coincide with his third major solo release, "TALKING BIRD” Snake is playing a number of dates in the UK with his band of top musicians. The line-up is :
Expect some fabulous live versions of tracks from the new album - as well as classic soul and funk standards. Guaranteed to be an evening of extreme groove and melody.

Heather Small

Snake has been working alongside Heather for over a decade now, a member of M Peoples Touring and Recording line-up for many years and now Heathers Musical Director and sax man.

Jim Diamond

The Scottish singing and writing star is sounding better than ever. Jim 'n' Snake have been touring acoustically and soulfully for some years now, just the two of them, playing Jims hits, some classic soul covers and whatever heartfelt melodies they fancy getting their teeth into….

Burden of Paradise

This new acoustic project includes Dave Bowie and Mark Creswell from The Suspicions, Dave playing double bass, Mark on acoustic guitars. And features the wonderful world class singer Helen Watson. Helen has a unique style and strong distinctive voice, crossing the boundaries between jazz blues and folk.

The Suspicions

Twenty years ago, in the student bar of Leeds Polytechnic, "Snake Davis and his Alligator Shoes" were born . a soulful unit playing sax versions of Stax, Motown and Atlantic classics. They went on to be embraced by the Northern Soul scene. They lit up the Astoria Ballroom and Central Station, Leeds as they played to some of the most passionate and committed music-loving crowds anywhere in the world.
The passing years have scattered the individual Band members to various parts of the world but the nucleus of, Snake, Bass man "Dangerous" Dave Bowie and Guitarist, Mark Cresswell come together every year or so to back visiting American soul stars.
At the end of last year the three decided to re form the SUSPICIONS (a storming 8 piece with Brass and girl singers ) and take to the road doing their OWN show again for the first time in 13 years! Come and see what all the fuss is about . expect to be dancing, swaying or slithering in your seats as they storm through Wigan classics and beautiful Soul ballads.

Pocket Central

Snake as special guest with Manchesters funky and fiery 8-piece (inc. 4 man brass section!)
