Strange things that you never knew about Dave...
Mining towns produce strange people. The deeper the mine, the stranger the people. Deposit a mining town within walking distance of a Cornish coast - with its obligatory raging Atlantic Ocean & unpredictable seagulls - and you have an unmitigated recipe for sumptuous chaos .. 24/7 .. 365/365.
I am such a strange people. For the past "40-ish" years my work has driven me from the rarest of sub-oceanic refuges, mined for its finest in Cornish tin, to the tribulatory expanse of white-outs, snowdrifts and mountain sunburn. No matter the cause, I have always been reclaimed by the Cornish Ocean to sink with the sun at the end of each trial-worn day.
Irrespective of distance, the tie is unbreakable. Indefatigable.
Dave also plays guitar..
..as well as writing his own music (which he doesn't post anywhere)
"Fine Margins" featuring the great Iain Dixon on horns (including the most superb of improvised sax solos). Filmed on an iPhone 5. All other instruments by Dave.

"Dave is normally safe to be approached."
" ..So now only the sea burns brighter than the sun when you're lost in the mist; where each and every lonely wave scolds with an unruly wisdom beyond its height in years. A spirit wrought of salted torment to be caught in flagrante delicto, ..ridden with more than just the eyes..
..if only one should dare.. "
