DODDS, David - Devon\ Singer\ 1979 - born at Aldershot, Hampshire in 1954, his father came from Hull and his mother from Sheffield in Yorkshire. He first became interested in folksong through hearing the group, "The Young Tradition", while still at school, later discovering that his father had fragments of traditional songs and relatives who played the Northumbrian small-pipes. For him, the unaccompanied harmony singing tradition opened up a new world of music beyond that of "Led Zeppelin" and other pop groups of that time. He went to folk clubs in Devon and Dorset and, listening to the Peter's recordings in the FOLKTRAX archive, learned further subtleties of traditional singing. David has now exchanged folk music for Rock and currently leads the internationally acclaimed group, Red Jasper -- FTX-126 "Sporting Dogs" - FTX-511 Miners songs - 5"RTR-0814-6 - with Larry DALEY rec Dartington Ciderhouse 25/10/74: CASS-60-0553 - "Stoneflower" Group CASS-60-0561
