~*~SMILER NEWS ~*~
So, after 20+ years together as ‘Smiler’, we’re still loving every minute of playing live music and feel privileged to be able to do so. We’re fortunate to share a similar philosophy in that, to us, gigs are about everyone having a good time. Sure, we like to play to the best of our ability and are always striving to improve, but there are no stars in this band. It also appears to us that, post ‘lockdowns', many people seem to be enjoying the freedom to access live music again and very often there is an extremely friendly (almost family) atmosphere at our gigs. OK, in the words of Paul Simon, we may be “still crazy after all these years”, but long may it continue. We’re available for bookings as ever, but the diary fills up quickly. (See our gig list below). Please feel free to send contacts, recommendations or enquiries to our contact page, if you have any questions, ideas or preferences. (See menu button at top right hand corner of this page). All the very best THE TWO DAVES "A two piece vocal, guitar and drum band, playing a wide range of classic songs".
We enjoy what we play and we're told that it shows. We perform music from artistes such as :- Dire Straits, Eagles, Queen, Santana, Fleetwood Mac, Badfinger, Thin Lizzy, Stealer's Wheel, ELO, Pink Floyd, Peter Frampton, Van Morrison, Bryan Adams, Bon Jovi, Ace, 10cc, Status Quo, Beatles, Proclaimers, Madness, Peter Gabriel, Eric Clapton, Wild Cherry, Stevie Wonder, Joe Cocker, Stereophonics, Bachman Turner Overdrive. . . .
