Newbald Live Teatime Sessions presents Snake Davis & Chris Bannister

Snake is one of the most in-demand rock soul and jazz sax players in the world, widely known for his solos on tracks such as Lisa Stansfield’s “Change”, M-People’s “Search For A Hero” and “Moving On Up” Klingande’s ‘Jubel’ and Take That “A Million Love Songs”. He has played and recorded with artists ranging from James Brown to Tina Turner to Paul McCartney, The Eurythmics to Amy Winehouse.
Chris is a singer-songwriter-guitarist of immense talent and class. The two met when Chris was invited to play an opening set on a Heather Small tour some years ago. They bonded immediately, socially and musically. Various collaborations followed, including in Snake’s ‘Classic Sax Solos’ show, but now they love to perform as a duo. Like Snake, Chris’s influences are broad:- folk, pop, soul, country and more..
It is easy to see how Chris gained an international reputation which has delighted fans for over two decades.
The blend of acoustic guitar and vocals, with Snake's charm on sax makes for a laid back evening featuring classics such as Stand By Me, Ain't No Love In The Heart of the City and A Million Love Songs, original songs from both Snake and Chris plus many more.
Snake is completely at home weaving artfully around Chris’s vocals, then there are sax instrumentals interspersed with the vocals.
Expect an exhilarating and varied set of wonderful songs, presented with intimacy in a duo setting.
