Dave Lister

I am a guitarist who has been playing in gigging bands for about 20 years, ranging from rock and blues in pubs to leading a 10 piece jazz/funk band in local festivals. About 5 years ago I began recording music for a CD album. The music I write is instrumental and would appeal to a listening audience, whilst also being suitable for film sound track, TV or theatre production.

I play in a semi professional covers band called "Up All Nite". But I do not play my own compositions live as yet. We play for many types of functions and at different venues. I love to play live, seeing people enjoying themselves. There is also a very good social aspect to being in a band, we have a great laugh. The special moment is when someone compliments your playing. You go home on a high and think about it the next day.

I have quite a wide spectrum of influences, but my main ones are: Joe Satriani, Steve Vai, Jeff Beck, Frank Marino, Alan Parsons Project and Pink Floyd.
