♫ Dave Bridge Trio ♥ The Swan ♫

Dave Bridge Trio - 1963

[@bernhardnizynski4403]

I remember first seeing them at a concert in Yass in early 1963. My friend Dennis Flynn had met Dave Bridge before and we got to talk to them at the end of the show. Dennis had just acquired a brand new Red Fender Stratocaster (the first Fender in Canberra) and brought it to show Dave Bridge. OMG, Dave Bridge was such a fantastic guitar player!

I first heard Dave in Cairns with the Joy Boys and later in 1963 at Rockdale. His wife Ann was in my band The Echomen at the Charles Hotel I was the guitar Player in the Echomen now Viva the ban.d Dave was regarded as Australia's Top Guitarist in the early Sixties

Did you know Terry Hearne who's playing bass here and who went on to form and play outstanding lead guitar in The Allusions?

Killer track!! Probably Dave's biggest hit. And the greatest version of 'Guitar Boogie Shuffle' is by The Joy Boys with Dave on guitar. Please, if anyone has a film clip of that, put it up on You Tube.

Dave was so good and it was a big loss for The Joyboys when he left!
