Tom Sykes has, with the blessing of Dave's family, taken the initiative to set up a trust fund.  There will be an annual event whereby the most promising jazz music student at Liverpool Community College is recipient of The Dave Joseph Award.

Funeral 

For those of you who couldn't be there – it was a VERY special send off for Dave.  

A huge crowd consisting of  family, friends, many musicians and former students gathered at Springwood Avenue Cemetery, Liverpool.  The ceremony was quite short, a Jewish burial and many people chose to meet immediately after to chat and reminisce. 

It was quite amazing to see not only the sheer amount of people but the variety of people.  All religions, all colours and all ages.  What a superb tribute to the man.

Dave Joseph Night

As house band drummer, Dave loved the sessions at Metro.  

He loved the meal before the band's first set, the jam afterwards and the chance to meet and chat with friends, old and new.  

The first of those sessions was Monday, September 1, 2003.  

Dave Joseph Night was on Monday, September 1, 2008 at KINGDOM.
