    Dave is a superb rocker, he knows Rock n Roll sound and how to recreate it! He produced Shaky & The Sunsets first album - A Legend - totally authentic 👍🏻

      was a nice little sub-chapter between Punk and New Wave - I arrived in London April 1981 and these guys were huge along with Polecats and Major Matchbox, older dude Shakin Stevens was No1 with Greendoor.

    Dave’s first group was the Raiders and we used to go and watch them in the Kennard Rooms , in Roath in Cardiff, in 1966/67, then he morphed into Love Sculpture and had the fantastic “ Sabre Dance”, I think that was 1968, he then went solo and the rest is history.
    A good quiz question “ name the two stars from Splott in Cardiff to have UK No 1 hits” and the answer is Shirley Bassey and Dave Edmunds

    Dave made them sound just right and launched them properly. I always think it's interesting how Brian Setzer has that cute lisp when he speaks but it barely comes across when he's singing.

    Yip the lads weren't wrong there he produced the stray cats well. That's why they came to the UK as they didn't make it in the states as it had already been done in the 50s and that's when the British rockabilly scene erupted and came out of the under ground but unfortunately short lived but never died off as its still running today another 40 years on what music has survived that long yeh keep pushing out the one hit wonders judges £££$$$$.
