Ask The Artist: Dave Wakeling (The English Beat)

[@anthonyfieldhouse9691]

What a sound down to earth bloke

[@heytheregeorgeygirl]

Love the Beat. Great, intelligent interview. Love that he's still got his Brummie accent after all this time in the States.

[@kevinshaw1387]

Love ya Dave - and I watched you in 83 at Milton Keynes Bowl with Bowie and Icehouse.

[@truthhitman7473]

Yes, Mr Wakeling ! Big respect ! I like the David Bowie story though LOL

[@chriscatton705]

so many great musicians say "well, it all started when I got a guitar at age 12."

[@canislupis3129]

Great story with David Bowie. Dave says Bowie asked the Beat to open for him for a 3 month tour. Just that very day Dave had turned in his resignation to their office. Dave tried fishing the letter back out with a stick but couldn’t get it. So he decided fate was dictating him to move on.
