These demos form only a part of a greater collection of unreleased songs that Dave has written over the years. Mostly recorded at his son Russell's home studio in North London. 'Fortis Green' was recorded in August of this year at the home studio of David Nolte with Jim Laspesa on drums. 'Fortis Green' has become an extremely popular song in Dave's live shows. The song was inspired by early passages from Dave's autobiography 'Kink'. Growing up in a large working class family in the late '50's & early 60's in Muswell Hill, North London. Reflections and observations of some of the characters and influences of that time. Dave recalls... "Every Saturday night there were parties in our house. There were always lively and colourful characters around. I remember on a Sunday night we would all sit around the wireless (we didn't have telly until the late 50's) and listen to 'Journey into Space' a fascinating and mesmerizing science fiction series. We'd also listen to the Tony Hancock comedy show. 'Hancock's half-hour'. I loved his film 'The Rebel' that later became one of my favourites. I was transfixed by the radio. I used to make up my own programmes when I was a boy.'
