Major Snagg is the invented name of the 'band' that perform all my own musical creations. (songs and instrumentals). I play guitars, bass, rudimentary keyboards, harmonica, and sing. Melody has always been important to me... lyrics and guitar solos have to say or communicate something. I create musical worlds that I hope that you dear listener, will also want to explore and live in for a few moments...or longer if you feel that way inclined.

Lyrics
On The Scene (c) 2024 David A Briggs Another Friday morning and things are on the move. won't be long 'till the weekend, we're already in the groove. This scene's on fire, and there's nothing that they can do. This town is were it's happ'ning, it belongs to me and you. Gotta be seen on Carnaby Street, Mini-skirts and long blonde hair. Life's for living so live it fast, live it with lots of flair. Lucy and her girl-friends, are all part of the scene. they laugh and joke, stay out all night long, it's the best times they've ever seen. Gotta be seen on Carnaby Street, Pink suit, the latest hair. Life's for living so live it fast, live it with lots of flair. Gotta be seen on Carnaby Street, Oxford Street or Portland Place. Life's for living, so live it fast, live it like it's a race. Guitar solo: You gotta be there, be part of the scene, you gotta stay out all night long. Life's for living so live it fast, life is just one long song. This scene's on fire, and there's nothing that they can do. This town is were it's happ'ning, it belongs to me and you.

One word: FAB! Perfect blend of melody, atmosphere and guitar splendidness. Love the psychedelic ending and the Bill Nelson solo. Groovy, man!

Great trip back to the 60's. You've captured the vibe & that Brit Pop style. Definitely got a feel good factor

As Nige said quintessentially English and quintessentially David ! You’ve created your own sound within the 60s style genre and the guitar is instantly recognisable as you as are the vocals ! Can’t ask for more than that ! The lyrics paint the London scene in the 60s brilliantly. Imagine hearing that in the 60s would’ve been a massive hit !

Nice work here! Quintessentially English in content and sounds. Harks back to a time when life was so much simpler. Great sounds and vocals! Superb recording!
