Dave Ital's Birthday Gig at 606 Club

The Club is fast becoming the place for musicians to celebrate their birthdays. Already this year we’ve had four and tonight we will be hosting the birthday celebration of one of our favourite Groove guitarists, Dave Ital. A regular here at the Club with artists such as Imaani, Derek Nash and Michelle John, Dave’s reputation as a studio and gigging musician is of the highest calibre. His powerful yet sophisticated Groove playing has been heard with the likes of Chaka Khan, Tom Jones, Nile Rodgers, Incognito, Beyoncé, The Sugababes, Level 42, Craig David, M-People, Bryan Ferry, Jason Rebello, Mica Paris, Beverly Knight, Take That, Lulu, Bobby Womack and Maceo Parker and he is first call guitarist for a host of other high profile artists. Tonight Dave will be celebrating a “special” birthday (we’re not asking…) in the company of some equally exalted groove musicians, including Aaron Liddard-sax, Gary Sanctuary-keyboard, Orefo Orakwue-bass, Westley Joseph-drums and singers Jackie Rawe, Victor Bynoe and Special Guest Noel McCalla. And if all that wasn’t enough you can expect plenty of illustrious guests to drop by to pay their respects to this popular musician and maybe play a song or two as well. Promises to be quite a night....
