     Dave Galt - The Ocean in London 2005

Originally from Kilbirnie , Ayrshire in Scotland, Davey is the band's
visionary with a remarkable creative drive and is constantly
working on several projects simultaneously.

Now also playing with The Larrivee Brothers, Davey
is equally at home with rock, funk, blues, jazz, and pop and just about
anything else that crosses his path.

"I was surprised at the low standard of musicianship in some
of bands when I first came to
London in the eighties, meeting
Terry in 1984 was a breakthrough.
The bands today appear to be a lot more creative and adventurous"

Very few guitarists like Davey play the entire guitar. Using his fingers instead
of a guitar pick for greater speed and control over the fretboard, He adds deft
twists of the volume and tone knobs to shape the notes as he's playing them and
further bends sounds into a rubbery tangle with his controlled cruelty on the
whammy bar
