Dave And The Derros was created by lead singer David Jones. Jones was a radio disc jockey based in Newcastle N.S.W and wrote novelty songs for his radio show. David had a large repertoire of radio character voices, one of which was his beloved Dave the Derro. David liked to make parody songs for his radio show. This eventually allowed him to work up an act based on "Dave". He complemented his performances with an ever changing backing band of musos. Some of these various musos also backed John Paul Young. Dave and the Derros also released an album in 1980 called 'Live After Death' which features most of these singles recorded live. David Jones (vocals), Trevor Parkinson (guitar), Kevin Buckingham (guitar), Bert Moonen (bass) Steve Connellan (drums), David Baldwin (drums). Thanks again Henry DeRooy for more great art work. Flac
