DaveWOODUnforgettable memories Here's a man you just couldn't ignore, compere Dave Wood, sense of humour, made us all roar, with a voice like Sinatra, you could hear a pin drop, he's one of the best entertainers Derby had got. The Crown, The Moon, The Blue Peter and The Malin are just a few, wherever he went, the crowds he drew, singers came from near and far, the pubs were that full, you couldn't get to the bar. How times have changed, and a lot of pubs have closed down, but we still have wonderful memories, of when Dave Wood was around. RIP. Joan McAdam and his many friends.

I grew up with Charlie as a friend as we lived a few doors away from each other in Lodge Lane. A kind, gentle soul and, yes a great singer....John Buckland

Dave was Derby's greatest ever performer, saw him many times as part of the "Dave Wood trio" at the Hillcrest club in the early 1990s & many other venues around Derby.
