A big thanks to everyone at the Gathering who showed up for Dave's "Midnight Special" show last Friday. Dave really enjoyed the show and enjoyed meeting and saying hi to everybody. He passes on a big thanks to Mike and Jules for inviting him to be there.
Dave is currently up in Scotland playing his favourite haunt in Largs, which is fast becoming his home away from home. He'll be performing two shows at the Victoria Hotel this weekend.
Check in regularly with the Gig Guide as shows will be coming in throughout the month for the year ahead. Dave is planning to record this Spring before heading out to play festivals this Summer.
Other things to watch for will be some band shows in and around the North West as Dave works in some new live material. More details about Dave's band work to be announced soon.
Hope to see you all on the road! Travel easy.

Dave Sharp returns to Wales on Friday, 29 January, to play a late-night set at the 2010 Alarm Gathering. The late slot in Ballroom will give Dave an opportunity to stretch out and play material from Downtown America and Hard Travellin’. He will also be previewing material he is working on for a forthcoming album.
“Exclusive to Alarm Fans”:
The “One Step Closer” guitar up for grabs.
Alarm fans attending the Gathering will have a unique opportunity to own the guitar Dave used to write “One Step Closer to Home” in 1984. This 1907 Savarez hand-built Spanish-strung guitar will be on display throughout The Gathering weekend and will be available to view and play on site by appointment with a representative at The Alarm Information and Merchandise Centre. View details and specs for the “One Step Closer” guitar below.
Don’t worry if you miss out on this once-in-a-lifetime opportunity as one of Dave’s favourite recording guitars will also be available to play and own.
