The
Story
Over
the past 35 years Dave Prior carved a career in the commercial radio industry,
as an announcer, program director and General manager, managing 8HA, in Alice
Springs, 5CC in Port Lincoln, 5MU in Murray Bridge and 96.5 & 98FM in
Geraldton.
During
his radio career his love for country music kept him busy in the sidelines
both as a performer, promoter and host of various syndicated country music
programs.
Now that
he's old enough to know better, he's thrown his efforts into the country music
industry full time, performing at festivals, bush events and hotels across
the country.
Dave's
show is not only a mixture of his own songs and some classics country tunes,
but an entertaining journey filled with funny tales and good country music.
If you
want some good songs, and some good fun, Dave is a must at your next event.
"I've
got three chords, and I'm not afraid to use them," said Dave. |
