    This week my guest is Dave McNally, and what a way to source a guest, his dad is a taxi driver who I had the pleasure of picking me up with my shopping, on that 5 minute journey he was telling me all about his son Dave and straight after that I contacted him straight away as I knew he had a story people needed to hear! We touched on everything from his early life, struggles with autism, discovery of music, band formation, gig success, financial realities of music streaming, and challenges in finding work and navigating career aspirations amidst the impact of COVID-19. The conversation covers the impact of COVID on the band, the transition to teaching and session work, exploration of music and recording, involvement in a wedding band, and recording and teaching at Main Street Studios. It also delves into the challenges and opportunities faced by the band members in their musical careers. So much to talk about it from Luna The Professor to Baby Strange, guitar tutoring and a wedding band! And as usual, he also found time to pick his heroes!
