Red Snapper plus special guests

Following the success of their album ‘Barb and Feather’ on Lo

Recordings and a full UK Tour in 2025, Red Snapper will return to

the live circuit with a brand new album in May 2027.

Rich, Ali and Tara will be joined on stage for the tour by the

phenomenal Sax/Clarinet/Keys player George Mooney.

The new album promises to maintain the band’s reputation as

being consistently ground breaking and relevant as has been the

case through their 30 year career….with new musical elements to

the fore and new rhythmical furrows ploughed. Tara Cunningham

and George Mooney are both intrinsic to the album. Resident

Snapper sax player Tom Challenger also appears on the album

but will be taking a well earned sabbatical next year and so will

pass the baton for the majority of the tour into the brilliant hands

of Mr Mooney……

The live show will be as passionate and energetic as ever.

Audiences will be the first to hear new album material alongside

plenty of Snapper’s favourites. The band are excited to present

this new music which they consider to be the most powerful and

dynamic they have produced since Reeled and Skinned.

The UK tour will include some returns to familiar, loved venues but

also, and tellingly, Red Snapper are delighted to be reaching out

to new towns and cities such as St Leonards, Blackpool, CardiR,Hebden Bridge, and to be furnishing them with the band’s unique

blend of jazz, punk, hip hop,dub and soundtrack.

The shows promise to be fresh, impassioned, experimental,

elevating and resonant……musical gold.
