Dave NorthDave North, and the Trio (which is sometimes a duo and sometimes a quartet) is a great favorite with local crowds. Dave, who hails from Slough in England (near London), has an amzing repertoire of traditional, modern, comic, and just plain obscure songs that make any evening spent listening to the "Trio" an enjoyable one. Marc Loan plays the bass and the banjo, while Diane Hershey is a whiz on the fiddle. Fred Vine, who often joins the Trio, has a blues guitar style that won't quit, and whn he brings out his slide guitar, the audenience is enthralled. Dave himslef plays the guitar. The entertainment (whether Dave alone, the Duo, the Trio, or the Quartet) means an evening well spent.
Since forming in 1982, the Dave North Trio has been playing all over Western and Central New York, and Beyond, finding gigs in various spots on the East Coast. CD releases include Dave North Trio Live and Hills of Connemara.
