Red Snapper is an instrumental band that made a big splash on England's Acid Jazz scene when Beth Orton appeared on their 1994 debut EP In Deep. This led to dance club success. Guitarist David Ayers, bassist Ali Friend and drummer Richard Thair were all studio musicians. They formed Red Snapper in 1994. Beth Orton was just starting out and had appeared on recordings by producer William Orbit. This led to her appearing on Red Snapper's debut EP In Deep. She also appeared on Snapper. It was popular with trip hop fans in London clubs. It got Red Snapper enough attention to get them a deal with Warp Records. They released Red Snapper's early EPs on this album which is available as a digital download. Friend was later a member of Orton's band. After three albums, Red Snapper split up in 2002. They couldn't seem to agree on a musical direction. They reunited in 2007 and have released a couple of albums. They also continue as session musicians. Acid Jazz fans should check out Red Snapper.
