Dave was a contributor to Openly Classist, writing about his experiences with soul musicians and performers from the 1960s onwards. When we set this site up we asked Dave for a quote. This is what he gave us: 
http://www.openlyclassist.org.uk
"Class is such a pernicious, undermining factor in British culture because we are constantly being told, (by Prince Edward no less, as well as countless other middle-class people of moderate intelligence!), that it no longer exists. Well, it is still thriving just as virulently as any other form of discrimination, despite the token “working-class celebrity”, like the token black, or whatever, so let’s hear it for the lowest of the low, and the poorest of the poor for a change; the used, the abused and the cheated. There are millions of us. We are all different and unique, and we are somebody! And the working class everywhere has always lived under an Occupation. Welcome to the world of Openly Classist!"

Dave was a really charming bloke, loved life and living it. In return he was well loved back.
