British rock'n'roll has had many memorable figures over the years and Dave Berry is one of them. The difference is, over 40 years on he is still performing to full houses all over Britain and the Continent with the odd trip to Australia.

Originating from Sheffield, Dave was influenced by Chuck Berry and Gene Vincent and this helped him develop his own unique style and presentation.

Forming his band ‘The Cruisers' in 1960 it was soon to become a popular local outfit around the Sheffield area. This eventually attracted the attention of Mickie Most and Mike Smith, producers at Decca Records who subsequently signed Dave.

His First record was a re-working of ‘Memphis Tennessee.'

In September 1963 Decca's intuition paid off with Dave and the band enjoying a top twenty hit with their first record.

This introduced Dave Berry to a much wider audience and opened the door to future success with his 1964 recording of The Crying Game, now acknowledged as a classic.
