20 years and showing it!

Formed back in 2002 and the current line up remains mostly unchanged. Originally called SNATCH SQUAD in the 1990's, the name change to SNATCH following a line up change but our heavily soul and rock music influenced sets continue from strength to strength. But before the 'double entendre' brigade gets too excited we simply SNATCHED all the great hits from 5 decades of popular music and put our own take and arrangements on the classics. The band can play in 4 - 6 piece formats. Each member has more than twenty years performance experience and have the musical skills and professional approach to be flexible in style and delivery to meet the demands of every type of venue and every type of crowd. If you want a laid back groove, we can be your groovers, if you want to get loud and sweaty.... well you get the idea! In 2022 and after many years on the pro-function circuits, and a hiatus caused by Covid 19 the band are enjoying a renaissance of our roots - returning to pub and club gigs where live music is appreciated by a participating crowd and we get to enjoy great company and a few beers in a fun atmosphere.

Meet SNATCH

Age and treachery will overcome youthful enthusiasm every time

Robbo

Bass & Lead and Harmony Vocalist

Just sneaking it as the oldest member of the band, Robbo is the master of the bass and the technical genius behind all of our engineering and sound systems. The beating heart of so many tunes in the set and the voice of an angel. (so he claims) Expect country and blues influences from man at the back.

Wilko

Lead and Harmony Singer, Rhythm Guitar and Blues Harmonica

Wilko fronts up the band with a joke or two to compliment a soulful voice, some chopping Telecaster rhythms and a howling harmonica on demand. The soul boy in the group, is a boy no more, but he’s enjoying himself too much to get too old.

Captain Dave

Lead guitar, Lead and Harmony Vocals

The Captain is a high flyer in more ways than one, but still riffs like a rock god on a Les Paul. The long hair might be gone, but the Captain still brings his Rock influences to the line up, bringing in vocal and guitar versatility whenever it’s needed

Phil at his Peek

Drummer – enough said!

Peeking too early is not an option for Phil on Drums. A solid and versatile percussionist with almost 30 years experience and the Mohican haircut to prove it. Heavily rock influenced but with a gentle side that slides effortlessly into Soul and Jazz,

KP

Guitar and Keyboards

KP is Nuts about Jazz and a fine guitarist and keyboard player. A master of both his arts, KP is a musical genius who keeps the rest of us on a musical straight and narrow that keeps the band tight and the music true to its origins.

Stevie Keys

Piano and Keyboards

Stevie Keys is the master ivory-tinkler of the group. A professional musician and teacher , its a lesson in piano perfection every time he plays with us, when out a a six piece.

Add Some Brass

The Raging Horns

Nothing brings a live band covering soul classics to life quite like a live brass section. If the occasion demands we can add sax, trumpet and trombone combos to bring the authentic sound of blue eyed soul at its best

The Gear

Sound Reinforcement at its best

No band is complete without a professional quality sound system for every type of venue and the engineering skills to go with it. Including the individual instruments of each member, the band has over £25000 invested in our stage gear. Scalable to host small venues with single singer / acoustic performers right up to huge halls and marquee’s with 5Kw PA rigs and pro lighting options, our gear is the unsung hero of the band.
