About

Get to know Dave

I’m a retired Civil Engineer enjoying spending time with my family, playing golf, researching family history, reading and listening to my collection of LPs and CDs.

Born in Edinburgh, Scotland a long time ago, I migrated with my wife and two daughters to Brisbane in 1983. We returned to England in 1992 and retired to Perth in 2011. My introduction to the Blues was by various bands in the 60s especially Cream and John Mayall’s Blues Breakers which led me to the original blues artists.

Very soon after our arrival in Perth in 2011, whilst twiddling with the tuning control on the radio, I came across blues music being played. Further investigation revealed the program to be Spoonful of Blues and the radio station to be RTRFM.

I love presenting as it allows me to share my love of blues with the listeners and playing music that they may not be familiar with.

 

How did you become involved in the station?

I contacted the station asking if there was any chance of joining the roster of people presenting Spoonful of Blues as I had eight years experience of presenting ‘Nothing But The Blues’on 4ZZZ in Brisbane. The station put me in contact with the co-ordinator and I was fortunate to be accepted into the collective. My debut was on 19 May 2012.

Tell us about your most memorable gig, either attending or playing at?

Meeting BB King backstage after one of his gigs in Brisbane was certainly a highlight. I was also fortunate to meet Champion Jack Dupree, Albert Collins, Gatemouth Brown, Buddy Guy and Robert Cray after their gigs in Brisbane.

What is your favourite show (other than your own) on RTRFM?

Woodstock Rock.

Love music?

Love RTRFM.
