Dave Cooper - Vocals

Although you'd never know it to look at him, Dave started flexing his vocal chords, pre-puberty, in Pershore Abbey - rising to the heady heights of singing with the Vienna Boys Choir. Then, all hell broke loose at the same time as his voice...and the eighties saw him fronting a variety of bands...commencing with Street Trader and culminating with NWOBHM group Scorched Earth. Signed to Carrere Records, the band released the 12" EP 'Tomorrow Never Comes' - still to be found in the Rare Record Collectors' guide for a healthy fee.

During his lengthy rock vocal career, he supported Bryan Adams, played BBC Radio One in Concert and the Friday Rock Show with Tommy Vance,, collaborated on a transatlantic operatic duet and was famously told by Edwin Starr that his remarkable voice 'should have been born black'.

Taking a slight left turn at the lights, he then gave the vocals a rest for a couple of decades while he went on tour, providing his own inimitable style of back stage production, all over the world, with Bob Geldof, Alan Parsons, Michael Jackson, The Rolling Stones, Pink Floyd, Prince, Man O'War, Jerry Lee Lewis, Little Richard, John Mayall, Dave Stewart and the Bloodhound Gang - to name just a tiny selection! Dave's stories of life on the road are legendary...although he admits to being bewildered at why bribing Eastern European border guards, visiting the only nightclub in South America where the taxi drivers don't want to take you - aptly named 'Help' - and being arrested at several 'over zealous' foreign live perfomances, should be a source of such incredulity. It was all in a day's gigging for Dave.

Notorious within the industry, both on stage and off, Dave is a big front man with an even bigger voice. Finally, and much to the delight of his fans, Dave is coming out live again...be afraid!
