Dave started his career in the early 1960s with a Brumbeat R & B band called The Redcaps. He first joined the band playing rhythm guitar, and later took over the spot of lead vocalist after Ronnie Brown "King" left. The band included Roy Brown & Mick Blythe on guitars, Alan Morley on drums, Mike Walter on bass and Max Broadhurst on sax. They traveled down to London to record three singles for Decca Records. Decca Records were trying to cash in on the success of The Beatles, since The Redcaps had actually opened for The Beatles in concert on four separate occasions.
