Davey Pattison has returned to his homeland after 40 years of performing at the top-level Stateside and on World tours as the vocal powerhouse fronting Gamma, Ronnie Montrose, The Robin Trower Band and recording two highly successful albums with German guitar ace Michael Schenker.
Davey served his apprenticeship in Blues, R&B and Soul in Glasgow’s sixties dance-hall scene and treaded the same boards as future members of Average White Band, Stone The Crows, The Sensational Alex Harvey Band and others in renowned venues like Picasso, Electric Gardens and Maryland. He was at the forefront of the burgeoning Pub – Rock scene with the highly respected Findo Gask who narrowly missed the big – time after being spotted and recorded by Gerry Rafferty’s producer the late Hugh Murphy.
Davey’s big break arrived when the legendary Bill Graham was tipped off by Bill Lordan and the late James Dewar that Davey was the ideal man to front the new band Gamma for his client Ronnie Montrose. Davey accepted and successful stadium and arena tours followed and played alongside AC/DC, Santana, ZZ Top, Journey, Toto, Foreigner among others. Doors are 7pm.
