Sun 6th July Dave Speight and the Snake Kings Sun 7th September Bullfrog Jones	The Snake Kings at the Crown Inn, Addingham		Last year Dave and fellow lunatic Les Staves smiled through the worst that the Addingham Moorside weather could throw at them, and together with the marquees, tea and muffins, and true British grit, turned a day that you might wish to forget into a day to remember. This time the weather will be kind (Liz says so!) and Dave is joined by his group the Snake Kings for what will be a fantastic afternoon's entertainment.
	Dave has been singing the blues for over 40 years and it shows, not only in the grey hair, but in the quality of his voice and his obvious love for the music.		Click here to listen to Dave's music
