Dave Clark - aka DC - started playing drums at the age of 17. His first band was
Across The Frontier which
was a soft rock band which went nowhere. Next he formed a band with the bass player from
across
the frontier and asked Tim the guitarist to join. After going through a few singers, Dave Goodchild
joined fresh from college. The bass player left because of the noise factor and another Dave joined
the band on bass. Tim left to have babies and three of us were left. The band had gained a name of
Freeloader. It played late sixties early seventies rock, e.g. Free, Jimi Hendrix, Led Zep. The bass
player moved to Bristol and Dave Goodchild’s wife Lydia had a baby and Dave Clark got a new job.
Because of the amount of time needed for a rock band both Dave's decided to form
Blencathra. He then
joined
Fat boy Tim a band formed by his old friend Tim which was simular to
Freeloader. Again the
band was let down by the bass player and the band split. In March 2004 he joined
Wildhoney which was know as Indiana Blue at the time
He also plays in a barn dance band, "Hangman's Acre" which he has been in about 12 years
