I've just got home from the latest bout of rehearsals in Hull with Mr David Rotheray and friends. For those of you who haven't come across that name before you will find it sharing the song-writing credits of all the hits co penned with Paul Heaton for that wonderful band; the Beautiful South. Dave doesn't actually sing himself (even though i think he is more than capable) so in all of his songwriting projects he enlists the help of various vocalists such as Sam Brown in his last band Homespun.
