Biography
Lead singer of cult band The Amazing Snakeheads, Dale Barclay, died in 2018 at the age of 32 from brain cancer. From Glasgow stonemason to frontman – Dale thrilled and terrified audiences in equal measure, singing songs with his trademark Glaswegian snarl such as the unnerving “Where is my Knife?”. Signed to Domino Records, The Amazing Snakeheads controversially split up before they could hit the big time and follow label mates the Arctic Monkeys and Franz Ferdinand into the wider public consciousness. Following the dissolution of the Snakeheads, Dale went on to work with The Fat White Family, And Yet It Moves (and their alter-ego Droem) ,as well as his wife, Laura St. Jude.
