Dave Berkeley

Dave is no stranger to rock music.

He was a roadie for a local band and even held a microphone by the bell of Brian Jones's saxophone when he performed with The Undertakers in Wallasey!

He says he loves to keep alive the music of an era when a musician played an instrument, not a computer.

A licensed radio amateur, Dave has had contacts from as far afield as the United States and Russia.

Dave is also keen to keep Morse Code alive and can send and receive at about 12 words per minute.

An eclectic mix of hobbies means Dave also keeps Koi Carp, can fly gliders and builds rally cars!

An elevator engineer by trade, Dave's claim to fame is that he worked on the lifts for Buckingham Palace and the QE2, so you could say he could be by royal appointment!
