| Biography | Dave Adams (27 November 1938, Saint Helier, Jersey-19 March 2016), also know as Burr Bailey and Silas Dooley Jr, was a British singer, keyboard player and songwriter.
He began working with Joe Meek in 1958 and continued to work with him until Meek's death in 1967. In the early 1960s, he helped build up Meek's studio. He recorded singles with him under various pseudonyms and wrote songs for him. He was part of the production of Telstar; a "second stage demo" of him playing the tune exists. He was also a member of Heinz Burt's backing band The Wild Boys along with Ritchie Blackmore. He was the father of Dee Adams (musician with country band Dee and the Housecats and jazz bank The Funny Valentines). |
