Dave Walker sang for many years with the highly-regarded East Midlands-based folk group Fieldwork. Previously he played guitar & harmonium with C-Cat Trance, and has also played with Fantastic Shoes and with David Longdon. Dave's own material is country folk tinged with urban melancholia, performed mainly on acoustic guitar and banjo, with added harmonium, double bass, drums, electric guitar and ukulele. The music to these songs is mellow and melodic the accompanying lyrics are poetic and soulful - the overall effect is folksy, plaintive, atmospheric and well..downright melancholic. Recent gigs (and recordings) have featured Alan Brown on bass guitar and David Mitchell on electric guitar and harmonium . Both also provide heavenly vocal harmonies. Alongside their own material, the trio have been known to cover songs by Richard Thompson, Nick Drake, Grant Lee Buffalo, The Band, CSNY and Joe Henry.
