This well-known artist has created a unique blend of Big Band Rock n Roll, Rhythm n Blues and Jump Jive rolled into one. With 30 years as a musician Dave started in the UK by playing in rock n roll bands at an early age, whilst studying classical music for 6 years. Although still young he was performing with many stars such as Bill Haley, BB King, Chuck Berry, and Shakin' Stevens, Marty Wilde, The Batchelors, PJ Proby, Jess Conrad, and even Jasper Carrott!
Tours of Europe, 5 years in Scandinavia -where he is still a huge hit- and appearances on UK TV and radio followed- The Kenny Everett Show, Pebblemill at One, Old Grey Whistle test and more.
Dave went on more tours in Russia, Hong Kong, The Phillipines, Europe and the USA over the years, and recorded many of his own songs.
Dave performed at the launching of Austin Powers' The Spy Who Shagged Me' at the Cannes Film Festival in May 1999, in front of VIP guests including a host of Hollywood stars and producers; Steven Spielberg, Sean Connery, Val Kilmer, Charles Bronson and Sir Richard Branson among others.
He has recorded many CDs over the years too, and continues to produce new ones.
Now living in the Costa Blanca, Dave is currently building a new recording studio facility here, where his Midnight Rock Records label will be relocated soon. He has still found time to tour the UK, Italy and Spain whilst writing and recording more songs. There is so much to say about Dave, his work, and his achievements- but this quote sums him up-
Raimo Henriksson, General Manager of Warner Chappel Music says-
"To this day, there are still stories told about Dave's performances - playing the piano upside down or performing unnerving acrobatics during his stage shows; his unique entrance to the venue by parachute and his inimitable Boogie Woogie playing technique - yet, never compromising the quality of the music."
