I was 16yrs old when I first heard of SHOWADDYWADDY,met this gentleman Dave Bartram still love listening to their music I am now almost 65yrs old I still Dance to their music those were the days my friends,I deed they were lv Christina xxxxxxx
Thanks.My Favourite 3 Steps to Heaven,Greatest Moment was Meeting the Lads in Late Night Hostelry in Dublin. Great Company and Plenty of Laughs and Memories.
Lots of comments about Dave's voice but no one knew more than Dave himself that it was time to go and shortly after this clip he did step down. Every singer must have that dodgy transition from going to great voice to not so great voice as the years take their toll and this was Dave's unfortunately. His vocal range in the day was incredible so as far as im concerned he has nothing to prove. Ive been belting it out for 35 years singing and im 51 now and you just need to choose your material a bit more wisely and maybe drop the key a tone or two when singing the same songs. Nice bloke is Dave and no ego either.That's probably why he's a nice bloke lol
And yet, this was him just four years prior to this particularly performance and his voice was still on it like a car bonnet back then. What a difference four years make to an aging singer's voice, eh? It's so sad. th-cam.com/video/SYXfEx8OH5s/w-d-xo.html
Go on, old son, keep answering your own comments! To answer your question, he was having vocal problems that would lead to his stepping down and becoming manager.
Oh how kind you are!! Don’t you think Dave knows he’s not like he was 20 years ago? Even with vocal issues I bet he can outshine you in a singing contest. How rude 😡
Josephine Wood I’ve only really got into the band. I’m learning and watch their videos on here from the 70’s boy Dave was, and still is, a looker back then. Wish the band could rewind 20 years ❤️

Cant believe dave has gone saw them loads of time in preston,blackpool,blackburn and southport grew up with them loved em he will be missed
Richard Stecyk Dave hasn’t gone, he manages the band now.
Love to meet them in person and follow their dance routines.
This band was great in the day saw them many times at Sheffield Fiesta booked the whole week to see them xx
The final appearance of Showaddywaddy on TV......and they omitted their song
I'm surprised that nobody has pointed out that the rest of the band are miming 😂
November 23rd 2020 I still Think Dave is Showaddywaddy

Jon Smith yeah Dave sounds if he has a sore throat or something. I wish Dave could rewind 20 years as he was a stunner then. He is now too though.

Legend that is romeo
I'm sorry to hear about your retirement, but I still love you through so many years but, never got to see you in concert.
He was great in his heyday I was a big fan but his voice has deserted him so he did right to retire..
Brigid Craig dave’s still about. He’s band manager x
STEVENP and the family have you ready fun or yes I'm sure what you found Newcastle Dave keep rocking
Oh lordy, what's with the funny Gene Pitney/ buddy holly voice, is this some kind of send up
Bit of Adam faith in there as well, what a mess
Go on, old son, keep answering your own comments! To answer your question, he was having vocal problems that would lead to his stepping down and becoming manager.
He was losing his singing voice that’s why he retired he couldn’t hit the notes properly!
It's embarrassingly bad
Oh how kind you are!! Don’t you think Dave knows he’s not like he was 20 years ago? Even with vocal issues I bet he can outshine you in a singing contest. How rude 😡
Never heard of this band in the USA. Are they really big in the U.K.?
Just a bit
Massive with a great fan base
Voice going --Sad!!! Understand why he quit.
He's finished
March 3rd 2021 Lol
Went off eamon Holmes, they wouldn't plat hey england that would have been a massive hit ,for sww
Why has Dave gone all Gene Pitney...
He had a voice problem . That is why he stood down and became manager..Such a shame , he had a great voice..
Dave will always be amazing to me. The dance floor was always packed when they were on stage xx
Yeah 40+ years singing effects the voice and larynx. X

Jimmy Saville could introduce Showaddywaddy much better than old Eamonn.
You mean the wierdo Saville
salvadormarley he’s dead and glad he is, perv. I happened on a few jim’ll fix it videos on here with the band on. Saville makes my skin crawl 😡
