Dave Watson grew up in Stevenage and
started playing percussion at the age of twelve performing in youth and
senior school and town orchestras and with the 'Herts County Youth
Orchestra' which included a tour of Ireland and a Radio Three broadcast.
His first band 'The Fishcakes' was formed when Dave was sixteen and
still at school. He spent four years playing every teenage party
going reaching the dizzy height of fame when 'Fishcakes' were billed to
appear at the Windsor Free Festival. Maternal disapproval
precluded the
band's appearance!
While at college Dave belonged to various short-lived bands, including a
twice weekly nightclub spot. He moved to Leighton Buzzard in 1979 and
started depping for 'Sunday Suits & Muddy Boots' during 1980s.
At some point (memory of the precise moment eludes him), Dave joined the
band permanently playing at Towersey and Beverley festivals and also
providing the music for productions at Stantonbury Campus Theatre.
Dave has played
in various Milton Keynes Productions including several years with
'Wolverton Gilbert & Sullivan Society' and occasional performances
with 'The Secklow Band'. He joined the 'Living Archive Band' in
2000 and also plays sometimes with soul band 'Up all Night'.
