Dave Mann and the Lategates

About Me

Dave Mann and the Lategates are a 3 piece group always striving to write good pop music with an experimental twist. The band members have known each other for over 18 years and all live in the same village. The band was drawn together by a love of Chesterfield FC. All 3 members work at Chesterfield FC as Gatemen, hence the name Lategates.The band have not played too many gigs due to monetary and time restraints but the gigs have always been explosive. The Annual Christmas gig of 2005 included a game of Bingo and Play your cards right as the support act and a metal version of Misteltoe and Wine as well as many other Lategate favourites.We have a fan called Fester who follows us wherever we go and is reportedly our biggest fan.
