"3 Chords - 1 Story"


You know what? I don't warrant a biog in the Third Person. So, I am Dave. I play punk-folk music alone, but sometimes with other people.

I love, and I mean Love, playing live. I play anywhere and every where. 2008 and will be filled with gigs all over the country, so message me and I'll come play for you and your friends. Beer and a place to sleep is all I ask, oh, and good conversation :)

I write around 3 songs a week, but usually only get happy enough to play one of these. The rest are poetry in effect, but not sissy flowery stuff, more 'Dave's annoyed with something' stuff. Anything that doesn't rhyme is a mini-novel, I stole that from someone, answers on a post-card.

ATTN: Greenock people...
Heya,

At the end of August I'm on tour with Al Baker and we're looking to do a gig on the 29th, which is a Friday.

So, what I'm asking is...

Would it be a complete and utter waste of my time to book a smallish function room somewhere and set up a gig? Perhaps if the weather was nice we could do it at Battery Park, or perhaps someones living room (these are the best shows).

I'd also like to know of any acoustic acts from Greenock I could get in to act as Support.

Please reply to this if you've read it.

Update and stuff.
While I'm dying of a chest infection, have a wee update of how I'm spending my final hours.

1.acoustic riot compilation
This is coming along nicely, so far have 6 confirmed names on it from all over the UK. I'm waiting till I have 80% or so confirmed before releasing the tracklisting. It's looking to be 15 tracks long.

It's also starting to look abit likt the "most played acoustic tracks" on my MP3 player :D

2. Touring
UK tour is ready, go look at the dates and then come along :) The Europe tour is also back on track, will have more dates for you soon. I found my name on a Danish website today, which was nice.

3.My music

I've worked out I've got a new albums worth of material again, but I'm not gonna put it out just yet. One song in particular is coming along really nicely,and I'll maybe get it recorded for you soon.

I'm also recording a batch of folk songs, traditional and contemporary for a possible release.

Scotch Corner cancelled
Hey all,

I just had two phone calls.

One from Lorraine, who booked me for Scotch Corner on Friday nights. She had been fired and as such didn't know what was going on with the acts that she had booked. She gave me the number of the pub to call up to find out what the score was.

So, I called up the pub to find out and they just called me back there. The reasons given were, I was too young (!), loud and didn't play enough cover songs that people know. Also something about not bringing a crowd along.

Which is all very strange since from the start I said I don't do radio hits and was told that it was fine to do original songs. I can't really do anything about my age, and I like playing loudly ( I guess since he was watching my set he could of asked me to turn down the PA!).

The crowd? Well, i did my best (emails, phone calls, texts, Evening Times article) and it wasn't my fault if more people didn't come along. That said though, out of the 30 or so people in the pub on Friday night, most of them were there to see me. So I hope he enjoys his emptier pub.

Pretty short notice as well it has to be said! The manager said that he enjoyed my set, and liked the direction I was taking the music, but it just wasn't suitable for his pub.

The manager also told me that there was never even the notion of a Residency. Lorraine was told to book an act for Friday nights and the residency thing hadn't even been mentioned to him.

So, if you were going to head along tonight, don't bother. Or better still, head along en masse and ask the bar man where I am.

eh i found it in the uni cafe at jordanhill campus, dunno what it was though, wasnt a strathclyde telgraph thing., but was something to do with uni it had a wee section on music and you were just in the back, a paragrpah or 2

said that you were a true singer songwriter not another "James blunt type" and that your music was littered with lots of clash/strummer referance which was nice. mentioned "daddy fought the law in particular". a girl in my class picked it up il ask her what it was when i see her.
