I don't think the Stranglers would ever have made it that big without his contribution to the sound.

Depends what you define as 'punk', but even at that time it was a rarity. Probably more rare was him using a Hammond Organ.

nope for sure, its what made them stand out from other punk acts, meaning they had a few singles even your mum liked

First band I ever saw live, Black & White tour. RIP Dave

Only ever saw them once (on the Feline tour). Don't know why as I had so many other opportunities and didn't go. They were a great live band.

RIP Dave.
