Dave Heywood

Dave is commonly referred to as ‘the Doctor’.  Not because of his medical skills, because frankly he has none, but because of his musical prowess.  Dave is not only a Doctor of the bass guitar, he can turn his hand competently to drums, guitar and piano.  He truly is an all-rounder.

 

He originally decided to start playing the guitar to impress the girls and impress he does. Whether it’s the girls or not is for them to decide.

 

Since he was initially inspired by Marc Bolan on Top of the Pops, Dave has made music a large part of his life for the past 37 years. From the 1970’s to the present he has been in bands.  These have included: Paris and the Atmospheres,  Marquis De Sade, Charlotte’s Web and Whirl. He still plays with Paris and the Atmospheres as well as his regular gigging with the Roadhogs and his other band Evolve: specialising in Indie covers.  

 

Dave has a wide range of musical influences, ranging from 1950’s Rock ‘n’ Roll, English Blues and Glam Rock.
