You might not have had the chance to see Dave in action, but many consider him one of the most exciting, energetic, and entertaining musicians on the current live music scene. In 2024 Dave was nominated for a _UK Blues Award._
"In other parts of the world they have cyclones, tornados, and hurricanes, in the UK we have Stompin' Dave. Dave is a phenomenal artist...A great guitar player and vocalist and accomplished songwriter...he is also an outstanding dancer... " _Blues In The South._

Dave has consistently given over one hundred performances per year across the UK and beyond, including many major festivals such as Glastonbury, Camp Bestival, and Bestival. "Let's face it, in adding the quality of his original material the man is a downright genius" _Blues In Britain._

Lucy is the daughter of the late blues guitarist Julian Piper widely acknowledged as leading UK authority on blues.
