Hi To All Of You
Welcome to my latest update. I hope this finds you all well. The year got off to a good start when I went to Blackpool for the annual Elvis Convention/Championships at the Norbrik Castle Hotel.
This event coincides with Elvis’ birthday celebrations on 8th January and this being his 75th year there seemed an extra buzz about the place.
TV crews and national press were there and my picture was featured in the Daily Mirror along with some other ETAs on Wednesday 13th Jan 2010. Reporter Steve Myall was on hand all weekend and took part in the novice competition, all the while seeking advice and tips from us before his heat to calm his nerves. Great to meet you Steve. Pictures from this event can be found on the galleries page.

I have not done as many gigs as normal since then through choice mainly to give the old tonsils a rest but it all kicks off again from April 3rd at Lingfield Club and does not let up for the rest of the year.

One event is at Chartham Park Golf Club on April 24th, this is a great venue just outside East Grinstead, West Sussex and should be a really good night. Tickets are £10 in advance inc buffet, call 01342 870340 50s fancy dress is a must I mean optional. Info on these and all other gigs can be found on the gig guide.
A lot of new songs by different artists are now being given the Dave B treatment with the likes of Shakin' Stevens, Johnny Cash, Bobby Vee, Brian Setzer, and more being introduced to the sets. The Elvis hour has been given a makeover with a lot of film tracks introduced as well as a lot of early 70s stuff also.

Plans are in motion for the follow up to Dave B's first Album First Take lovingly known as Mistake, the studio time has been put aside for the summer months so by the time we next write in detail more info will be available. With so much material out there its hard to try and cram in favourites but we will listen to Dave B fans and if they want a particular track on the next album email us via the Contact page and let us know what you want to hear.

Dave B has also been accepted as part of the Association Of Professional Elvis Presley Tribute Artists. This is a website where ETAs from across the globe have there profile on one website for all to see and it also represents that those ETAs [Elvis Presley Tribute Artists if you are still wondering] on the site are there portraying and protecting the name and image of the greatest entertainer of all time. Phew that was a mouthful as some one once said to me. Well that just about covers it for now please check back for any news items otherwise the next essay will be in the Autumn.
Keep rockin and see you at a gig one time soon
Regards Dave B.
