A sound engineer at the BBC for the whole of his salaried life, Dave Silk was a nighttime legend on the Jazz circuit, playing silky bass like a master of old.

Dave trained at the Royal Academy of Music and was a testing leader of sound crews in studio.

    David is very much alive and vibrant here in Charente, where he led a splendid charity gig with Sarah and his jazz fellows.
    Much love to you Dave.

    RIP Dave. Happy memories of Crew 13 at TV Centre in the 80’s.
