Bio

1968 Played guitar at end of school concert.
Bought an acoustic guitar and was gigging solo in folk clubs including The Boggery with Jasper Carrot, Billy Connolly, Mike Harding, Max Boyce. I used to go out under the name of Dave Owen till Jasper took the mick  so much I decided to use my own name.
Did a midlands mini tour supporting Jasper mainly Civic Halls plus The Rep in Birningham
Joined Reggae band - didn't get far I got sacked cos I was the wrong colour and the crowd didn't like it, the band were fine with it though.
Formed Crossfire - a rock band for a couple of years, got on the radio with a couple of songs.
Went back to doing solo folk gigs.
Played in a variety of  Country Music bands - Saguaro, Marshall Peavey, Beretta, The Hat Band. Always loved country music.
Played the Birmingham Town Hall with The Hat Band and got a video to prove it.
Duo with Nigel Bullock from 1998 - 2010 folk/blues/country/bluegrass. Recorded 2 albums. Always good fun and very enjoyable.
Decided to go solo again to do some writing and started teaching guitar.
I started a songwriting club this year (2011) but unfortunately due to a variety of reasons it didn't take of as well as I had expected so I closed it till I can find a better venue. If you're interested in a songwriting club please drop me a line.
I am still looking for a band with that groove, please also drop me a line if you have it and you think I might fit in.
