Tw st At last! Dave has Bolsover date N ORTH Derbyshire singing star Dave Berry has performed at most of the UK’s most prestigious entertainment venues over a career spanning more than 60 years... but he has never set foot on stage in one local town - Bolsover. That omission is to be put right this summer when, together with his band The Cruisers, Dave will appear at Bolsover Assembly Rooms in a show organised by the town’s Rotary Club. Dave was one of Britain’s original teen idol pop stars, enjoying a string of hits in the 1960s including Memphis Tennessee, Little Things, Mama and the classic Crying Game. On the continent he was presented with a Gold Disc for his recording of This Strange Effect which was written for him by Ray Davies of The Kinks. Originally from the Beighton and Woodhouse area of Sheffield, but living in Dronfield for almost 60 years, Dave reflects on his early days in the music business with pride. With a unique stage presence, he performed his favourite rhythm ‘n’ blues and rock ‘n’ roll songs for enthusiastic audiences at a number of dance halls and other concert venues in the Chesterfield, Worksop and Mansfield area - but never in Bolsover. “North Derbyshire was a very important area for me and my band and we enjoyed performing at both the Victoria Ballroom and also ‘Jimmy’s’ - St James’ Hall - in Chesterfield. I was back in the town performing at The Winding Wheel just 18 months ago. “Peter Stringfellow came to Chesterfield to see us perform one night - either in 1961 or ‘62 - and then booked us to play at one of his venues in Sheffield. He told us we were the first band he had ever made money on and his own career as a promoter took off from there,” recalled Dave. “In Worksop we played at the Monaco Ballroom with Gene Vincent in the very early days and down the road in Mansfield I performed alongside The Ronettes and The Rolling Stones. “I’ve played at venues large and small throughout the country and I’m delighted to finally be booked to appear in Bolsover; I’m looking forward to it very much.” Dave’s show at The Assembly Rooms is on Saturday, June 10th, and shortly after that his diary includes a nationwide tour with the likes of PJ Proby, Steve Ellis from Love Affair and Herman’s Hermits. “I will be making my debut at the Assembly Rooms and then taking to the stage at venues such as the Royal Concert Hall in Glasgow and Liverpool Philharmonic Hall.” Bolsover Rotarians decided to invite Dave to perform in the town after hearing him speak about his career at one of their meetings a year ago. Funds raised from the event will go towards causes supported by the group. After more than 60 years, Dronfield’s Dave Berry finally finds himself at the centre of things in Bolsover Dave revealed that although he has never sung in Bolsover, he did once have an engagement in the town... for a fight! “I have never been in a fight in my life and I can’t recall the exact circumstances, but I do remember that in the early 1960s five or six of us thought it might be a good idea to go to Bolsover to look to take on some lads there. “I can’t remember what happened, but hopefully they aren’t still looking for me!” Support act for Dave Berry & The Cruisers at the Assembly Rooms is The Chris Firminger Band. Tickets are priced £20 and booking information is available via bolsover-rotary.org.uk Tickets are also available from Pages Paint Shop on Castle Street, Bolsover. Bolsover Rotary President Graham Weighill said: “This will be a night to remember - don’t miss out. “We are really excited about this concert and there will also be some awesome raffle prizes to be won on the night. All proceeds will go to support Bolsover Rotary charities.” 6
