New kid on the block


Recommended Posts

Him my names Dave, I was born and bred in Sneinton, I moved to Ilkeston just seven years ago.

I started my musical adventures at the Wembley Club at the bottom of Lichfield Road, Jack Britton was the owner and I was a friend of Tony Britton, we used to see The Jaybirds with Graham Barnes (Alvin Lee) and Reg Guest, or we used to pop over Rossington Road to the March Hare where the landlord George famously turned down the Beatles for wanting too much money !

I went to school with Mick Dale and together we honed our own musical skills at his house on Port Arthure Road and later joined the emerging 60's folk and blues scene, Mick to the electric blues scene and me to the more sedate acoustic scene although we would team up again to play in a band called the Hound Dogs.
