There are so many ways to describe Dave Gregg, who took the eternal big gig on Sunday evening, March 31st 2014. He was a believer in the power of music and a powerful musician. He was generous to the extreme with his resources, time and insights. He was a great friend.

He was also a party to this venture.

Without Dave, and his phenomenal partner Cathy, System Dialing Records would not be the remotely the same. He will be a part of everything we do here, as he always has been, until we evoke our last sounds.

Have a listen to his awesome guitar work on Butterfly Starpower’s album…
