Dave
'2 Flewtz
orn; January 22nd, Aquarius (so life should
start in the New Millennium
which is also the Age of Aquarius)
in a Norwich terraced house near the St. Augustines swimming pool. Began
to learn the Trombone at
High-school in 1971 and joined the Reepham
Town Brass-Band in 1972/3. Was invited to play for a dance/swing band
and earned his first `music-wage` playing `Miller
`and `Ellington`. Also
played in a military band for a short time as a stand-in trombonist. Left
brass-bands (and the Trombone) behind due to the lack of `musical
variability` in 1981/2 after the Reepham
Band had their first-win in a National
Competition.
Self-taught on Guitar
1978-onwards (with a
little help from .....e.t.c.). Joined his first Rock-based band in 1983 as
Vocalist. Has since played in a number of bands/combo`s/duets
covering a wide range of musical styles spanning Rock, Rythm & Blues,
Jazz/Funk, Reggae,
Irish (modern/traditional) and-so-on, e.t.c....e.t.c....e.t.c.
Self-taught on the flute since 1993/4 after
picking-up a whistle at a pub by a river, one sunny, summers afternoon in
the deepest depths of Norfolk.
He is currently Intercolating
(Durrr???....no,
nothing dirty, just taking a year out to earn money) from studying an Honours
degree in Ecology & Biology at the University
of East Anglia in Norwich. Hence the subject-matter of some of the lyrics to
Iceni songs (High
Energy, Evolution).
Met the guys in September 1997 and hasn`t looked back since (too busy negotiating the curves that life throws at us to look at what's behind!).
