The memory plays tricks (mine simply just doesn't function). However, feel free to correct me but I think we were introduced to David Blosse by Michael Moore. Thirty years on imagine how nice it was to see Dave's name on our site's Guestbook. David became one of our regular "stalwarts" in our folk club days. He often performed as a resident singer for us and, it is chronicled in 1975 at the Blacksmiths Arms, teamed up with the legendary Doug Morter to perform as "Crabs" ! A sight to behold! From 1978 to 1984 he was in London based band Pekoe Orange touring both here and abroad. Lots of fun critically and musically, but financially not. He moved to and still resides in Kent. From 1978 to 1984 he was in London based band Pekoe Orange touring both here and abroad. Fortunately his career has gone from strength to strength seemingly never stronger than it is now. He is a successful solo artist and member of the very interesting DB and the Hurlimann Band. Appearances at Ronnie Scotts, the Rock Garden, Dingwalls and the Sidmouth Festival indicate not only success but also a broad range of musical styles - African, Celtic, jazz and blues. The band, initially the Hurlimann Brothers, was named after Shepherd Neame's lager..seemingly on the basis of the band having consumed vast quantities of it! (I suppose it wouldn't have worked so well with Farleys Rusks!). The band is a bit of a moveable feast ranging from a 12 piece with a horn section to a trio - currently it numbers 7. Dave's first solo album 'That's The Key' was released in 1999 and described by Folk Roots as being at the 'upper end of the quality scale', the band's first album appeared in June 2001 and Dave has just finished his second solo album "Fall from Grace" It is not beyond the bounds of possibility that these cultural delights will soon be available from this very website.
