Bio
I'm Dave Hughes, I play folk music. I've been doing this solo thing since 2006, and before that I played in a punk rock band down Greenock way. My music is heavily influenced by the singer songwriters of the 1960's and 70's (Dylan, Ochs, Moore, Seeger etc) and also the punk rock scenes of the 70's and 80's. My top three influences have to be Bruce Springsteen, Mischief Brew and Phil Ochs though.
I love playing live, and over the last few years that I've been doing this I've played up and down the UK numerous times. I go out on UK tours every six months or so, in the beginning these were on the Megabus but now I tend to drive. I've supported a lot of the people who listen I to, such as Frank Turner, Chris T-T, and Mischief Brew, and played quite a few festival dates.
Since June of 2009 I have had a backing band in the form of The Renegade Folk Punk Band. We are an all acoustic five piece punk rock political folk band. Most of the gigs that I play in and around Glasgow will feature the band in some form, and as is becoming more common now,
