>>DAVID GALT 2009<<

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 David Galt MySpace Site WHAT THEY SAY ABOUT DAVEY Surprisingly generous for a Scotsman, "Could you repeat that Davey!?!” The boy can play guitar!  The original six string cowboy!
