Music by Doug Church-blew me away

Recommended Posts

Has anyone got anything by Doug Church. I came by this track on You tube and the song (which sounded more like Elvis than Elvis does) just blew me away. It has to be the nearest thing ever to the king.

Janus,

 

Being a retro dj that always ends up having to play bassline, I love stuff like this.

 

A mate of my used to guitar in the Steve Denton band. The late Steve Denton was sheffields answer to Elvis in the 60-80s when he sadly passed away. My mate has played me tapes of this guy who sounds very authentic.

Hi Retrogo,

 

That establishes that there is some recorded stuff around from the guy. I will look out for cd material-i feel sure that there will be some.

I played drums with Steve Denton in the 80s, and also Dave Hopper and several others.

 

Good times.

Dave Hoppers is still looking to put a band together. If you're interested, let me know?

(He don't like his contact details passed on, and he wont ring mobiles, and still doesn't drive lol).
