Dave Berry
In the early and mid-sixties some excellent musicians and groups emerged from the Pub-Club scene and changed the whole music business around.
Groups like The Rolling Stones, The Beatles and Moody Blues had their own individual style, which has ensured their lasting popularity. Among this array of new talent was Dave Berry. Anyone who saw his classic performances on Top of The Pops, Ready Steady Go and Lucky Stars will agree that Dave has got a unique style. As Roy Carr of the N.M.E. said “Dave Berry is without a doubt one of the most original stage performers in British Rock”.
He was invited to the Knokke Song Festival in Belgium as Special Guest” and at this festival he was awarded the press prize for the most outstanding performance. Anyone who was at the Knokke Song Festival will certainly remember Dave Berry for the performance he gave.
At the Grand Gala de Disque, the famous record festival held in Amsterdam, he made such an indelible impression on the audience and Dutch critics, he had no less than 5 records in the top twenty just one week after his T.V. show. Then it was Belgium’s turn to see Dave Berry on T.V. and as a direct result of his appearance he was given his own T.V. series with amongst his guests Tom Jones, Lulu, Cilla Black and The Hollies. After this series the next stop was the U.S.A and during this visit Dave was seen by Jack Good who offered him the star role in the musical “The Prodigal Son”, which is to open in London later this year. Dave is planning a further visit to the States this year for T.V. and P.A.’s.
During the 70’s Dave toured all the top ‘one nighters’ in Britain as well as appearing at the Split Song Festival in Yugoslavia, Grand Gala de Disque in Amsterdam, Malta Song Festival and the Olympia in Paris.
Dave worked in the studios and live with only the very best musicians. During the years, names in Dave’s bands have included Jimmy Page, Big Jim Sullivan, John Verity, Jack Lancaster, Al Powell, John Paul Jones, Eric Stuart and Graham Gouldman.
In his current show Dave presents all his hits like Crying Game, Little Things, Mama, Memphis Tenessee, Strange Effect and also a mixture of many other fine songs. He is backed on tour by an excellent four piece group, The New Cruisers. Dave’s recent appearances on T.V. have been on Supersonic, Pop Proms, Licensed for Singing and Dancing and he currently has on release on the Decca Label and L.P. called Dave Berry’s Greatest Hits (remembering).
