You have probably been to various functions and nights out where the music was provided by a solo artist. If they performed well you may have considered them to be as good or if not better than a well known artist. You might ask why they haven’t had their lucky break and reached the dizzy heights of stardom?
To answer that question I am joined by a man who in his own words has spent ‘30 years on the bottom rung of the showbiz ladder.’ His name is Dave Dawson and today he is a full time care home musician, author and has just brought out his latest book entitled ‘Pop Idle: 30 years on the Road as a Professional Singer. Dave has banked a wealth of experience on the live music circuit and he reveals how along the way, he’s had brushes with fame and fandom, strippers, stalkers, crooks, inebriated punters, prima donnas and various other colourful characters!
The real moving part of this interview however, is how Dave has found a truly wonderful vocation playing his music to the residents of care homes. His wide repertoire of songs, stagecraft and music skills are bringing joy and pleasure to residents and he's loving it too!
