At the age of eleven he first heard the urban blues sound that had been emanating from the United States, people such as BB King, Buddy Guy, Otis Rush and Albert King, and was immediately aware that this was the music that he wanted to incorporate in his playing. He has developed his own style of โEnglish โ blues, a combination of clear, clean blues phrases and harder edged riffs that are a recognisable feature of his very personal songs.
Arriving in London in the early seventies with the classic โfew pennies in his pocketโ he gradually made a name for himself among the local musicians and became respected as a tasteful player and an easy guy to get along with.In 1974 he toured the east coast of America,getting as far south as New Orleans and discovering that he thoroughly enjoyed being โon the roadโ. He had by then become friendly with the now legendary English Blues guitarist Peter Green and they spent a lot of time jamming together.During the mid-seventies .Snowy played on various sessions,developed his skills in the studio environment,and started writing his own material.
In 1983, he got together with musicians that he had known and admired for a long time-drummer/percussionist Richard Bailey, keyboard player Godfrey Wang, and his good friend for many years, bassist and producer Kuma Harada.Together they came up with Snowyโs first solo album, โWhite Flames.โ A single,the timeless โBird of Paradise', written by Snowy, was taken from the album. It became an international hit, reaching number three in the UK charts, entering the charts in most European countries and reaching as far afield as Australia and South Africa.
Snowyโs next album project was released on the UK record label RPM. Entitled โGold Topโ, after his well-known Gibson Les Paul โGoldtop Standardโ guitar. It features material in which Snowy has been involved from as far back as 1974 right up to 1996. Since the release of โGoldtopโ Snowy has recorded three albums with his White Flames band, No Faith Required" in 1996,"Little Wingโ in 1998 and Keep Out:We Are Toxicโ in 1999.Another compilation, entitled "Pure Gold - The Solo Yearsโ was also released in 1999.Also in this year Snowy joined Roger Waters for his bands "In The Fleshโ US tour, which was so successful that, in the Summer of 2000, Roger again toured the States, this time recording a live album and making a film of the show.

This is my blues
Cause I'm back then on my own again
This is the blues I'm playing
Yes it's the final thing
When the night is cold and lonely
This is the midnight blues
This is the midnight blues
For the girl I left behind me
Ain't it the final thing
This is the blues
Just a feeling deep inside of me
This is the midnight blue

Music is probably the only real magic I have encountered in my life. There's not some trick involved with it. It's pure and it's real. It moves, it heals, it communicates and does all these incredible things.

Get yourself a kid, mate.

I agree, don't listen this dumbass guy up there. Having children is not the only way to feel intimate life. For some it is, but guys please, don't be intolerant thinking your life is an exemple.

Beautiful. Brought tears to my eyes of a rappers song. Not Meek Mill but the guitar itself that Meek mill had in the beat. I sat wondering why I had tears coming out not knowing what was wrong at first, but it felt as if the guitar was pushing something out of me. It was an experience. I had to find the original. The guitar had power for sure. I'm happy I got up at 6:00am this morning even though it was a free day.

Shared this song with someone in a deep depression and it pulled them out of it. This got them out of bed, showered and living again. Thank you so much.
