Dave grew up with Jazz but started his career in his teens backing American Soul artists – Ben E King, Arthur Conley, Percy Sledge, The Platters, Jimmy Helms etc – on tour in the UK and Europe. Later as guitarist with The Real Thing during the time of their hit You To Me Are Everything, he schlepped up and down motorways in the time-honoured fashion. He’s worked as a session player – including a solo with Stevie Wonder on Charlene’s single 'Used to Be', and played on Josie James' album Candles, backing her at her London appearance at the Jazz Café. (Josie is vocalist with Burt Bacharach.) Always inspired by the Jazz greats as well as creative and innovative musicians such as Donald Fagen and Pat Metheny through the years he's more recently been writing and recording in his own studio. His CD Red Hat is currently on release, with another (Who We Are) due in the near future.
