Sad news guys!!
So I am sorry to inform all you regular rockers that Dave's residency at the Jailhouse Rock after 2 years has finally come to an end. Unfortunately although still rocking every Saturday with Dave, business was poor all other nights of the week and the restaurant was forced to close. All the goodbyes have been said and we wish Geraldine and Paul every success in the future. The good news is that Dave is again available for all your parties and weddings he has been turinig down and we will keep all you fans posted of further events on the gigs page.

Dave goes Primetime!!
So there you are minding you own business, eating your dinner watching Harry Hill's TV Burp on a saturday night when BLAM, there he is again. Dave Harley right up your telly box. Now you know we all thought that Dave was funny with his 'make him stop' comment about the rather dodgy Michael Bouble Impersonator and obviouisly so did Harry Hill. If you want to see it go to the following link http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=5TR8nos1Gc4

New Show Ready!!
We'll it's here rockers, after months of recording backing tracks amd rehearsals, Dave's 68 Comeback Special Show is finally ready. It's excellent and really authentic and to top it off girlies, Mr Harley will be clad in leather. Although he has got a bit too fond of the leather cuffs and they have had to be forcefully removed from him!! Anyway the show is premiering at the Jailhouse on Sunday 16th August, the 32nd Anniversary of the passing of the great man himself.

Dave TV!!
So guys, we know why they had to name a TV channel after him, you just can't keep that man off the Telly!! Ford, Dagenhams Dream was a huge success, a really top class show and a must see for any car fan, Dave's musing's on the Ford Capri were a classic. Today he is out filming a show called 'Restaurant In your Living Room'. It's just a bit of fun, apparently a local couple are opening up their home as a restaurant and he is going to eat in it, the idea is you pay what you think the meal was worth and the couple who earn the most win a prize. Its going to be aired in October sometime on Virgin 1.

August 2008
Back on the pitch again
After the huge success last year, The Harlequins asked Dave back again to the Twickenham Stoop Rugby Ground for another half time Elvis Show, after the gig he said "It was a real buzz hearing 8000 Rugby fans singing along to Elvis and the cheerleaders were fabulous, each had a lovely pair!" I guess he was talking about their pom poms!!

December 2007
Ooh Get You Dave!!
So if you need to find Dave on the weekend of the 18th December, he will be doing a three night run at The Ritz!! Of course this is completely normal and obviously Mr Harley's hotel of choice whenever he visits London.

March 2007
Warning all Elvis Fans!!
So Elvis fans, we've finally convinced him. Dave, a life-long Elvis fan himself is donning the suit, dying his hair and growing the sideburns.
The suits have been ordered, the top lip exercised and after years of requests he is becoming, as they call in the trade, a professional ETA (Elvis Tribute Artiste) Now this decision was not taken lightly!! We've all seen the fat warblers doing no justice to Elvis, so this ETA promises to be like Elvis in his prime, the three F's ...FIT, on FORM and FUCKING AWESOME!!

June 2006

Dave's eploits with the opposite sex when he was a rep for Club 18-30 is to be documented on TV. Channel 4's series 'Sex in the Eighties', on Wednesday 14th June, lays Dave's secrets bare. But dont get too excited ladies, nothing else is going to be bare.

February 2006
Well done Andy
All of us here at Dave Harley Inc. would like to express our best to Andy Norton, who since flying the X-Certificate nest has achieved mega success with The Crimea. We are talking chart success, a U.S. tour, Radio 2 appearances the lot....The new album Tragedy Rocks is a must so hot foot it to a record store NOW and buy a copy. The web site aint bad either (http://www.thecrimea.net/) considering Splash and Misty had nothing to do with it.

March 2005
Its time for Dave to do it on his own!!!
The moment when Dave is ready to perform on his own is finaly here. Yes Harley fans, Dave is ready. He has been hard at work these last few months, collecting material, honing his voice, working on that body, sourcing the equipment and generaly getting ready for a solo career. All that hard graft is now behind him and he is ready to get in front of you. So dont delay BOOK TODA

February 2005
Dave flies solo!!!
You can now have Dave all to yourself. Yes Harley fans Dave has gone solo. Due to work commitments of the rest of the band, and Dave always needing a 'New Thing' to keep him entertained, he has decided to get out there on his own. But dont fret your pretty little heads, Dave can still be hired as part of the super group The X-Certificate Band !!!

August 2004
Crimea Rock!!!
As mentioned below, we announced the impending performance at V2004 of Andy Norton and his new band The Crimea. We had spies abroad that day and here is what Splash & Misty had to say;
"The Crimea were superb, and Andy played a note perfect set, with all his usual energy and flamboyance. It is a crime that they only had a 20 minute slot, 'cause we could have quite happily dedicated 2 hours to them. And to top it all, as the last note of the last song was fading, Andy unplugged his guitar and without a nod, a wink or a wave walked off stage with a 'my work here is done' kinda air about him. Marvelous stuff, well done Andy, well done Crimea. The Vstage next year ?"

Business As Usual
There's no time for fun this month with the band working non-stop in Western Theme summer parties, Charity Events and Corporate Summer Balls. During all this the band attended and performed at a memorial for a recently deceased good friend to the band 'Norm' who passed away last year. It was a great night and we all partied hard and ate well which are the two things Norm was world famous for. The band would like to congratulate Heather and Kara for organising a wonderful day and giving us all a chance to say farewell to Norm.

Dave Rocks the Boat
Well its summer holiday time and the band go off on their summer holidays before the busy summer period begins. Dave, Duncan, myself and friends hire a 47feet long boat and take to the Norfolk Broads. Much of all the wrong kind of stuff is comsumed for a week and although thoroughly enjoyable, we all come back exhausted and extremely wobbly from our sea legs with Duncans title of 'The Main Man Bell' being stripped and changed to 'The Wanker with the Anchor!!' No sooner are they back, the gigs start that evening and they spend few weeks rockin and rollin and takin Care of business.

 May 2003
X-Certificate Rock!
It's studio time folks. The band lock themselves away for a few days and work their bollocks off to produce probably their best work so far, Shaggy joins them on the bass to add some funky bass lines to the tracks and with the help of a really groovy engineer and a gorgeous in every way backing singer (the poor things), two more tracks are finished and the band come away happy and go on straight away to a Charity Event in Felsted to whom they Rock to an inch ot their lives as usual.

 April 2003
Daves conservatory Rocks!!
First and foremost this month, a big apology goes out to all of Daves neighbours for seranading them every Sunday after lunch! Yes folks the studio is booked and rehearsals have started for the long awaited second Album 'Highway Heroes, due for release in August. Many Sundays at Dave's have been ruined by drums, gutairs, keyboards, leads , recording equipement and sweaty hungover musicians arguing their way through countless songs trying to agree on the tracks that will light your fire the most. You lucky things you!
 

March 2003
Dunmow rocks?!!
So March sees the boys back at the folks hall for the Friends Re-united school reunion for Helena Romanes School, although I do recall seeing some Cambridge folks up the back who I'm sure must have gone to school elsewhere(you know who you are!) Well the place rocked and a lot of money was raised for SCOPE, so well done Russ our milkman who organised the event and is off trekking in Vietnam to raise some more money.

February 2003
Its official!!
Yes folks the rumours are true, Mr X is having a baby, well not literally of course as the lovely Cecile gets those honours. Of course I asked the band for an official comment "Nice shot X" was all they managed, but from the rest of the clan we say congratulations you two and at least we know X isn't a jaffa now.

November 2002.
Dave goes back to basics during power cuts !!!!!
This week Dave Harley, your favorite rock n roll God, realy got back to basics. During the week long power outage Dave tapped into his animal instincts. Not being able to bath, shave, watch tv or strum his electric guitar, Dave amused himself by lighting fires and acting in a caveman like manner. He was quoted as saying "If it had gone on any longer, I think I may have found myself running naked through the woods". Now there's an image to savour girls!

 July 2002
Dave back in the studio !
The studio is booked and the boys spend two solid days with new friend and studio engineer 'Studio Joe', recording the first couple of tracks for the long awaited second Album (while Duncan, one take Bell, hits the Playstation 2!). Joe has worked with the likes of The Stereophonics, Gay Dad, Peter Gabriel etc so after much coffee, fags and chinese are consumed in 48 hours and some very funny moments, some very serious Rock n Roll is recorded and the band return happy and fulfilled with their new tracks. The Album will be available here soon, so watch this space

Mr X. breaks his vow of celibacy.
Mr X has gone jiggy jiggy. After stating on this web site that he has taken a vow of celibacy (since removed as it is bollocks), he has recently taken up with a woman. Cecil, the Thriller from Manila, has stolen Mr X's heart and broken a few into the bargain
