About this Event

SON OF DAVE is a funky sausage machine of style – Daft Punk, Leadbelly, AC/DC and Rudimental all get the tough harmonica and beatbox treatment.. and those growling vocals!



Our hero is releasing his SEVENTH studio album, a collection of covers, packaged up 70s K-Tel Super Hits stylee – a mad selection of songs spanning a century of music belted out from a bluesman’s gut.



Connoisseurs of the cover tune will rejoice with tunes by Paloma Faith, War, The Bar-Keys and John Lee Hooker. Even Pump Up The Jam is dragged onto the dance floor again.



A note from the Bluesman himself about the album:



My Dear Audience,



I will now perform for you 13 EXPLOSIVE HITS by other artists, many of which you will be able to sing or shout some of the words to. This is my job, to give you what you already know and love and make it exciting. If one of your favourite songs gets trashed, I apologise, but it is my right to do so. I do things my own way.



Now please don’t let this become a shouting match with you clamouring for that Dizzy Rascal track or some rare blues song by Blind Melon Johnson I’ve never heard, I don’t do requests. What you see is all you get. Like you I am never satisfied, but we stopped at an unlucky thirteen because we ran out of money.



Please oh please come to the tour and festival shows. It’s always a pleasure to see you bump-and-grinding on the dance-floor and then to talk drunkenly with you at the merchandise table afterwards. What more could an old bluesman ask for than a barroom full of howling music lovers. I suppose a large concert hall full of you would be better, but I go to France for that.
