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).
