Dave was born in Standish, and educated in Manchester. He studied jazz at Leeds College of Music, whilst playing keyboards in residence at the Guisley Theatre for Barnum, and the Grand and Bradford Alhambra for Chess.

Having graduated, his first professional engagement was at the Sporting Club in Monaco, opening for such performers as Phil Collins, Michael Bolton and Barry White. This led to a residency with the Tony Evans Orchestra at Le Cabaret, Monaco.

Since then, Dave has played with Hold Tight at the Primrose Valley Holiday Centre, Yorkshire, Cyclone Discotheque, Colombo, Sri Lanka, the Ritz-Carlton Hotel, Singapore, Le Meridien Hotel, Jakarta, Indonesia, Caister Haven Holiday Centre, Great Yarmouth and Le Meridien Waldorf Hotel, London.

The crowning moments of Dave's career so far ar playing first keyboards for The Supremes, and also for Jackie Graham.

He joined the Blues Brothers company at a late stage in their development, and would like to thank them for helping him to spend less time in faraway lands, and more time with his wife.
