David J - biography

Keyboards - Starting as a teenager playing bass with a head-banging rock'n'roll group in the depths of the Essex countryside which had a lot of fun practicing but never actually got a gig, he progressed through playing pop cover versions with a band called Ice - if only we'd called ourselves 'Ace' instead - to a professional country band based in Buckinghamshire. A spell playing show music and leading a Rock'n'Roll Revival Orchestra for the American Forces in Frankfurt was followed by yet more country music, this time with the unique Wil Ripley and his band. He is now keyboarder for the Adriana Band in Wiesbaden.
