Dave is a founding member of 5th Avenue.
Twenty-four years ago, Dave pulled together 4 other talented musicians including current band members Gary, Derek and Nigel. Gary being the first and together they filled the other slots to create a new band specifically for functions, corporate events, fundraisers and festivals. The band had the chemistry, worked as a team and gelled very well together, this gives you one result , a great band!! After a lot of hard work rehearsing the band started out with a couple of low key gigs. Success came very quickly and 5th Avenue was born and became a top recognised and well know band throughout parts of the UK and having many sell out gigs.
Dave is an experienced drummer and has played in various bands, his last band before forming 5th Avenue was the highly rated pop/ Indie band “The MJ-12”. He enjoys being behind his drum kit no matter what type of event it is or what songs he is playing , and always likes to make sure the audience enjoys themselves. Dave’s kit was custom made by Yamaha in the USA and he is a great fan and user of Zildjian cymbals. He admires many famous and local drummers as each drummer has their own style.
“One person in particular that I am very grateful to is Duncan Malcolm who owned the Cammach Hotel. Duncan allowed the band access to his function room to rehearse anytime we wanted. If you’re in a band then you know getting rehearsal space is very difficult (it was back then!!)”.
