About Me

Ahoy. My name is Dave le Ford. You may call me Miss Dave le Ford, you lowly dog. Pirate, Bass player extraordinaire, and devourer of all things chocolate covered, I am all things to all people. Unless they wish of me to do anything with haste, in which case they can apply elsewhere. I fill my most precious time performing the aforementioned feats, usually accompanied by my wonderful, if slightly strange, friends/shipmates. And my brothers, who are the stuff of legend. I am something of a gig whore, having seen more live bands than you have had hot dinners. And I have rubbed shoulders with the greats, such as the pigeons and the kaiser chiefs (who insisted on getting their photo's taken with me. I obliged, being the nice person I am, though now I have come to regret that decision, as that ricky bloody wilson will not stop calling me). So yes, that is me. Worship me if you will. I accept offerings in the form of chocolates and cuddly toys. Garrr.
