The life and times of a
part time popstar
"Dave Berridge may not be a household name, but this part-time popstar has been a fixture on the music scene for decades.
Heavily influenced by the raw energy and rebellious spirit of late 70s punk and new wave bands like The Stranglers, The Sex Pistols, and The Skids, he channels that same DIY ethos into his own brand of catchy melodies.
A true multi instrumentalist, his eclectic discography is available to explore on all major streaming platforms".
UP MAGAZINE, 2023
I’ve managed to get one of my songs some regular radio plays….not because it’s a great and worthy track, more because it’s being used in a radio advertising campaign. But it all counts eh.
The first of a trilogy of children books featuring the adventures of Tyler & his dog Smiler was published in October 2022 by DBDM & is available on Amazon for the princely sum of 0.89p.

Recharge Audio
Once you've recorded your song(s) you'll need to get them mastered. This is the process of balancing the sound out to allow your track to sound good on any media platform. I've used Recharge Audio for years now and found them both professional and helpful.

Canva
Canva is a great design tool for creating your album artwork. There's a pro subscription level (£11.99 per month) that I use but the free version is also very useful.
2026 Targets
I plan to record the new album that I've been working on for some time now called Not Now Mary. I'm currently rebuilding my studio so progress will be dictated by how the revamp goes.
The release of my "best of" album Recycle This on vinyl should be good to go around spring.
I'm harbouring hopes of doing a couple of live slots this summer.
