Lead vocal

DJ was born in Birmingham, grew up in Blackpool and started out in music early. At 17 he was playing guitar and singing backing vocals in rock and roll bands before joining various pop and alternative bands as lead vocalist. Looking for fame and fortune he moved to London in the early 90s, and formed a band. They enjoyed the London gig scene playing  key venues right across the Capital, but they eventually folded. So, determined to keep pushing himself he spent the next 15 years singing and acting with a professional production company touring theatres up and down the country, which he says "was great fun" DJ has also performed as a solo artist on the club and pub scene and even did cabaret before joinong and fronting his brothers rock band in Scarborough. "Rehab" became hugely popular playing to pubs, clubs and functions as well as residences at a number of venues across North Yorkshire. DJ also enjoys writing his own stuff  but, as Regional Manager for a Sports organisation he took some time out from live work to rest his voice. Now he says "I'm ready to dust off the mike and strutt my stuff again with my first love Live Music !!! "

Guitar/BV's

Dave switched from Bass to Guitar at 19 and had played everything from Reggae to Blues by the mid nineties. He was with bands like Sons of Albion, This Way Up, Animal House and The Blues Boys. In 95 he took a long break from live music although he never actually stopped playing. Today he has a great time hammering out the modern and classic rock tracks that make No Way Out such a popular live band.                      Dave's Guitars
Dave plays an 87 ebony Les Paul Standard. who's pickups were sent to Wizard Pickups for wax dipping to cure the sqeal that commonly occures at higher gain or volume and he says "it seems to have improved their tone too". He also playes an Ibanez SAS36FM  thats bloody loud for single coils and has a bunch of beautiful Strat like tones but with more balls.                         

Backline.                                                                                                                      Dave uses two amps, a 1980 Session 15/30 1 x 12 Valve combo loaded with  Celestion Classic Lead 80. This is his main amp that runs through a THD Hotplate  giving that great overdriven valve sound. (Session only ever made about 400 of these) Then, sometimes with a very early Sessionette 75 1 x 12  linked to the line out from the Hotplate which fattens up the sound a little adding some bottom end from the closed back cabinet and a slightly cleaner open sound from the Fane Classic 50 driver. Dave uses a Samson Q8 mic

Fretted and 5 string fretless Bass

He's the guy at the back very often stood with his eyes shut and his head back while still playing his arse off. Quite man Derek was has played every kind of music imaginable and backed artist as divers as Cliff Richard and Gary Brooker. He was one half of the Rod Garfield Blues Band rhythm section. He is an excellent Jazz bassist too and Derek still plays with Terry of the Blues Band and some excellent musicians as the Jazz Assasins . You should make a point of seeing them to hear some great Jazz.

Derek's Guitars. His main guitar is a Musicman Stingray although a 62 Fender Presision sees the light of day once in a while. He also has a 1 off custom 5 string fretless made by Dave King.

Backline. For amplification his weapon of decibels is a Peavey MkIV 400w head. This is run through two cabs. Firstly, at the bottom a Peavey 1 x 15" Blackwidow cab and on top a Peavey 410TX cab. Lately Derek has started using a Line6 LD150 combo that he slaves into the MkIV head with the 410TX cab.

At his feet   Line 6 FBV Express pedal board or Boss Octaver and a Rocktek Chorus.

Drums

The man at the back holding it all together with rock solid rythms and that drivin' beat. Saddie has also been about and while and has played with Dave and Derek in other bands over the years. He's a busy guy and can be found at many of the jam sessions across the south from Basingstoke to London and down to Portsmouth. He plays some big venues too. See him below at The Grey Horse in Kingston. 

Dave has played with a number of big names over the years including Snowy White who was with Thin Lizzy and played on Pink Floyd's The Wall tour. Dave even auditioned for Status Quo when they were starting out. They were very impressed with his playing but he was quite young.They suggested he come back when he was wearing long trousers!!
