Dave takes to the road next week for two shows with former Bay City Roller Eric Faulkner.
Dave first met Eric last year when they were in the same line up of acoustic 'super group' Three Men And Black and they quickly found they had much in common with the demise of their 'hit' bands leading to a re-awakening of interest in the music that inspired them.
The Eric Faulkner & Friends show sees the guitarist recalling the days of pop bedlam during his time as a Bay City Roller and magazine pin-up, and spills the beans on the greatest Rock n Roll swindle of all time. Along the way Eric will be playing some of his favourite inspirational songs from the likes of Tom Petty to Pink Floyd and Woody Guthrie and introduce us to some of his musical friends. As well as Dave Sharp (in Liverpool & Leicester), other friends expected to join him during the rest of the tour include Ed 'Tenpole' Tudor, TV Smith and Pauline Black.
An amazing insight on how you go from teen god to wandering minstrel... and boy can he play guitar.
