THE BAND
Mick Hanby - Vocals
Hailing from Sunderland, a wealth of vocal experience behind him, Mick is a well known face on the North East music scene having fronted numerous bands around the region, over many decades.
Possessing a strong vocal range and ability, a voice that carries the raw emotion of the blues, just like the main man himself.
An exceptional frontman, commanding the stage with raw energy and audience captivating performances.
A lifelong Coverdale admirer, mirroring the DC charisma as you would expect.
His Steller vocal performance has gained the attention of DC's mentor and long time friend, band member Ian Paice, who stated ''I've never heard anyone sound as much like David for a long time'' the highest praise indeed!
Kev Williams and Greg Darby - Guitars
Guitarists, Kev Williams and Greg Darby are as close knit a guitar duo as you'll find. Complementing each other's styles with ease and finesse. From the bluesy early snake riffs to the all out thunder of latter day snake virtuosi Reb Beach, Steve Vai, John Sykes, Doug Aldrich & now, Joel Hoekstra.
Replicating these top class players isn't an easy task but Kev and Greg accomplish this feat through years of musical dedication....truly Lords Of The Strings!
Both accomplished guitarists, Greg has extensive touring experience with cult band, King Rocker; whilst Kev has extensive touring experience in the world of tributes and original bands
Both guitarists continue to stretch their abilities to master the virtuosity of the full range of incredible players Whitesnake have had over their long history,
Duncan Cook - Keyboards
Ivory tinkler and all round gifted musician, Duncan Cook, the joker of the band, is the band's glue. Enhancing all eras of the snake's music with his smooth keyboard skills.
From the likes of Wine, Women & Song, to the flowing power of Best Years, Duncan's keyboard wizardry will leave snake fans mesmerised.
Paul Thompson - Bass
Taking care of the low end is Paul Thompson. Having travelled the world within the festival scene for the best part of a decade he is now the driving force of the rhythm section for Whitesnake UK. Taking influence from such musicians as Steve Harris and Geddy Lee he delivers a hard hitting performance every time.
Matt Blakout - Drums
And last but by no means least....Every snake has a tail.... Whitesnake UK are extremely proud to have a tiger as its tail. Legendary Welsh glam rock icon, Matt Blakout from Tigertailz is the Whitesnake UK time keeper. Visual and exciting to watch, Matt's experience and resume is even more impressive. Having played the world over and sharing the stage with the likes of Whitesnake themselves- and some of the most iconic names in music history- Matt commands everything from his drum stool. Seeing is believing....and Matt never fails to deliver!
