I haven't seen Snowboy, but I did have a copy of his "Best of Snowboy"
CD. (Unfortunately it got stolen)
His real name is, from memory, Mark Cosgrove (I'm sure someone will correct
me if I'm wrong) I believe apart from doing percussion, he is also a big
club DJ, and once appeared in a production of "Westside Story" playing
a Jet.
The "Best of Snowboy" album includes a very funky version of the Flinstones
theme, Anarchy in the UK, Something's Coming (from Westside story),
A night in Tunisia. All in all it's a pretty good album. I bought it
after hearing the Flinstones theme on the Radio.
He also appears on one of the U.F.O. albums, playing percussion.
