1990-94

The years 1990-94 began in 1990 which saw the release of a much loved Mungo Jerry album, Snakebite, a rocking masterpiece that combined both rock and skiffle, and perfectly exhibited the talents of the band at time – Ray Dorset, Tim Green (guitars), Steve Jones (keyboards), Les Calvert (bass) and “Crazy” Jamei Roberts (drums).

“The only time I’ve seen Mungo play at sea was in July 1991. Olau Ferries ran between Sheerness, England and Vlissingen in The Netherlands at the time.

“Mungo were booked to appear on the evening cruise out from Sheerness, and the afternoon return. I plotted a little family holiday touring parts of Holland and Belgium to take the return gig in.

“Tim Green appeared on this occasion, and this was my two boys’ awakening to Mungo Jerry!”

Amazingly, we only have a couple of dates for all of 1993, although one was a gig that produced a rare bootleg CD from Poland. The situation with the fan club may have had something to do with it. It had temporarily ground to a bit of a halt before continuing the following year.
