About Me

Dave Sleney, 39 yrs old, 2 kids, greying, enjoy a drink and a good laugh. Played a bit of guitar since I was 11yrs old and still plugging away! Formed my band The Enquiry in 2006, did a few gigs but sadly we've gone our seperate ways. The few recordings we did can be found at THE ENQUIRY and one track is playing on here. Currently I'm still playing now and again...look out for gigs soon!!! I pop in at a session in a Sheffield pub called The Dog & Partridge (Trippet Lane) doing folk/covers/originals/rock/bagpipe swing(anything really!)on the occasional Tuesdays & Fridays....pop in and say hello, have a play or have a listen and buy me a Guinness if you like it. Finally a big thank you to my daughter Elly (6) who always makes me smile and to my son Sam (12)and my girlfriend Kate. I'd like to say to Sam... keep practicing the guitar mate and buy your owld fella a nice big mansion when you make it big!! ..
