Dave Fox New Studio Label

The expansive music career of writer/producer Dave Fox began in the late nineties. With roots as a drummer on the live circuit, he owned and ran his first recording studio (Angel Studios) in 1997. Working with many top local bands he spent the years at Angel not only developing his talents as a producer, but developing his surprisingly original talent as a song writer. On the back of Angel Studios success Dave financed and recorded his first collaborations with future band member Chrissie Ward. Inspired by the success of this recording he went on to form Blind Frog Ernie in 2001.

With a prolific fusion of high octane balls awkward blues rock, BFE quickly became one of the most popular bands of its time on the Northern circuit. After a brief re-shuffle in 2003 BFE added to an already impressive back catalogue with a further 5 studio albums.

Accompanied by a hugely popular live show, BFE's career led to U.K, U.S and Australian airtime, live sessions for the BBC and appearances on U.S and Australian TV. In 2006 Dave Fox went on to form Shaven Apes with BFE bass player Mark Allsop, releasing the darkly acclaimed Shave an Ape & Inner Sanctum on his newly formed studio label.

Now in negotiations with film and music companies on the back of this material, the music of Mr Fox is out there for the foreseeable future. www.davefoxmusic.co.uk website written by N Duggan, Designed and Built by Jim Elbourne
