Dave worked with Jim Davidson, Lenny Henry, Paul Melber, Lenny Bennet, The Shylites,Swinging Blue Jeans, Hot Gossip and many other top acts of the time. After a very successful 15 years with the band Dave felt it was time to move on. He went to Germany and bought a pub, but it wasn’t long before he formed a band and went touring Germany for 5 years. He returned to the UK and moved into another pub in Cambridge, where he put on jam sessions, Dave used to sit in on drums and keep his ‘hand’ in.  He was approached by a guitarist from a rock band and ‘Strickly Bussiness’ was formed again Dave was lead vocals and drums, they toured rock venues up and down the country. Dave moved back to Northampton and joined an Eagles tribute band. He gave up the drums and concentrated more on singing.  He later formed ‘Freebeer’ a very successful duo, working the London Casinos and other top spots both in the UK and Spain. He later met Rudi Fabeck and they formed an Eagles / Beatles tribute duo called ‘The Beagles’  - See them in Benidorm, you won’t be disappointed.
