British born guitarist Snowy White (Born Terence Charles White) first became interested in music at the age of eleven when he was inspired by blues musicians Buddy Guy and B.B. King. He pursued his blues style in a number of bands however during the seventies Snowy made a reputation for himself playing numerous sessions for a wide variety of musicians such as Al Stewart, Cliff Richard and Peter Green. More famously Snowy toured as second guitarist with Pink Floyd augmenting the bands sound on the tours to promote the Animals and The Wall albums. By late 1979 however tiring of the session scene Snowy accepted the offer to join the rock band Thin Lizzy. Snowy recorded two albums with Thin Lizzy (Chinatown and Renegade) and completed a number of successful tours before deciding that the bands music and more importantly their lifestyle wasn't to his taste.

He formed his own band featuring drummer Richard Bailey and bassist Kuma Harada. With this band he recorded his first solo album entitled white Flames. A single lifted from that album (Bird Of Paradise) became a surprise hit reaching the British top ten in early 1983.

From here Snowy White recorded a number of blues based albums all of which were warmly received by the blues audience his records are aimed at.

This live DVD was filmed in March 2004 and captures Snowy and his band The White Flames in tremendous form. The performance is full of the tasteful modern blues we have come to expect from Snowy White and the set list contains not only original material from Snowy White but also selected covers including two Peter Green songs (I Loved Another Woman and Black Magic Woman) and an incredible interpretation of the Jimi Hendrix song Little Wing.

Initial quantities of this DVD come as a double package containing the DVD and a bonus audio CD of the concert making it a desirable package for fans of Snowy White

I sent Snowy an email about three years ago over Christmas. I had just received his DVD as a present and wanted to THANK him in whatever way possible. Would you believe that he answered the email and sent me a picture and handwritten note. I had also asked him why he wasn't smiling in the Roger Waters DVD (forgot the name of it). Snowy wrote that he was having problems with his foot controls and had to reset the guitar for each song. What a gentleman for taking the time to answer my email.
