Dave Colman

from Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

David "Dave" Christopher John Colman (often mistakenly spelled "Coleman"; born September 29, 1944 in Bristol ) is a British musician and radio DJ .

Dave Colman replaced guitarist Eric Clapton at Casey Jones & The Engineers in 1963 . Since, among other things, the pay for performances was better, he and other band members came to Germany in 1964, where he has since spent most of his life. The band changed their name to Casey Jones & the Governors and had several hits, including a. Don't Ha Ha (1965, DE second place) and Jack The Ripper (1965, DE 9th place). After Casey Jones left the band, it renamed itself The Gaslight Union and had other releases. Colman also released his own singles.

In 1969 he became a radio DJ at WDR and soon had his own show, the Dave Colman Show . He also presented the radio library , Country & Western Aktuell and Freie Fahrt ins Wochenend ' . He remained a freelancer at WDR until 1997, after which he was no longer employed because of the program reform. He also worked as a songwriter: together with Günter Lammers, he wrote several songs for Pussycat in 1982 .

Today he has his own radio show on the internet station PopStop .
