THIS IS ME
Originally formed from a duo called DOUBLE DEE over 25 years ago, Dale performs in Clubs, Pubs, private functions and charity events throughout the UK most weekends, entertaining all age groups and travelling anywhere between Lincoln and London.
Taught the basics by his father, Dale has mastered the guitar by playing along to records of instrumentals 40 years ago from Hank Marvin and The Shadows, and many more. His vocal talent came into being whilst singing with several bands since school and finely honed during his duo act over the last 20 years.
His repertoire includes many hits and genres from the 50’s through to the present day, and with his line-up of Fender and Burns guitars, can provide a varied Hank Marvin/Shadows tribute act if required. His recent purchase of a couple of Gretsch guitars allow for a more authentic rockabilly sound, whilst his collection of acoustic guitars allow him to perform acoustically too, usually for the more intimate gigs.
As part of DOUBLE DEE, has performed in several different countries including India, UAE, Malaysia, UK (obviously), and more recently reformed for a one-off gig in California, USA.
In addition, Dale has supported various other bands on a variety of instruments, such as the Orange Rhinos (Guitar), Blown Fuse (Bass) and Soul Intention (Drums). The latter utilised his skills founded from performing on drums and percussion for the RAF Wyton Area Voluntary Band. And together with his duo colleague, Brad, and former bassist from Soul Intention, Mitch, formed a trio called D'ManD. Brad had to leave to work in the USA after the first few gigs, but D'ManD2 was born with Amanda coming onboard on vocals. Again after a few gigs, COVID hit the world and our lives took a different priority. Although still available to join or assist other acts, his solo act goes from strength to strength.
Finally, not only providing live music, Dale can provide discos, usually at weddings and birthdays. The disco comes complete with a large selection of different music genres and has a comprehensive light show.
