Snakecharmer In Islington Tonight 14/5/17

All roads lead to London's O2 Academy Islington tonight to see Snakecharmer as they continue their eleven date UK tour showcasing their new album 'Second Skin”', which was released last Friday. Slightly harder edged compared to their debut, but with roots still firmly planted in Bad Company, early Whitesnake and a hint of late 70's AOR, this new record sounds strong, passionate, rocking and Blues-laden. The band was originally founded in 2011 by former Whitesnake members guitarist Micky Moody and bass guitarist Neil Murray along with guitarist Laurie Wisefield (Wishbone Ash), drummer Harry James (Thunder, Magnum), keyboardist Adam Wakeman (Ozzy Osbourne) and vocalist Chris Ousey (Heartland). In 2016, Moody left the band and was replaced by Irish born Simon McBride on lead guitar.
