RIP the DCB

Alas all good things must come to an end and so it was with the DCB.  Chris was the first to leave. His style of playing the cajon played havoc with his hands and he left us in 2013 to concentrate on his other band, an excellent three piece called Scoria Sky.

We found a worthy replacement in Rai Clews. He was the go-to cajon player for my recording projects for the next four or five years.

 

 

As 2013 turned into 2014 the gigs began to dry up. Many of our pub gigs stopped having bands and Dave Walker's other music commitments meant that he wasn't always available. In the end we decided to call it a day. It was great fun while lasted.

Which just left Vince and me. We carried on working as a duo and then formed a new band to play our versions of Scottish and other celtic songs and tunes. We enlisted a lovely singer called Fiona and ace cajon player Rai to form The Tartan Painters.
