I have known Dave for almost 20 years. We go way back! It was great to catch up with him in this podcast as he has a lot of interesting stories to tell.  He is one of those people that time flies by with.  Every time we meet up, there is always great story exchanges, energy and a bit of craic and banter.  

One thing that wasn't discussed in this podcast that has recently come to light is that Dave has indeed been on the BBC this week as he is the ONLY OFFICIAL BAND in the world who are performing together right now.  He has recently got together over lockdown with a band (all cover-19 checked and negative) and moved into a private mansion location in England where they have been recording music and basically living the life of Riley.

Daves' day job is playing Bass Guitar mostly in Jools Hollands Rhythm and Blues Orchestra for over 30 years.  I have had the pleasure of playing before him and Jools Holland and the rest of his band and I supported their band a few years back on the Irish leg of their UK and Irish tour.  It was an amazing experience.  One that I will cherish forever.  

It was great to catch up with Dave, even if he was at the time, not disclosing his secret location.  What a brilliant project- to join with fellow musicians in amidst a pandemic, in secret.  Pretty cool.  I hope you enjoy this podcast.
