\nAfter the Apocalypse Choir, Dave formed 2 bands, THE STONKERS and THE SPEAKERS.These bands lasted a few months each and only amassed a total of 30 dates between them. STEVE MARSDEN got married and Dave moved back to Manchester to form THE ANSWER? with PAUL COCKROFT (drums\/vocals) and IAN McDOUGALL (bass).This band was the first to truly feature all of Dave’s songs.Paul also contributed material and Ian collaborated in the arranging of all the songs. In Dave’s mind it remains the most collaborative band he’s ever been involved in,indeed one of the most productive.The band lasted 3 years from 1984 – 1987. The peak of the band’s gigging career was from June 1985 – May 1986 during which time they gave 97 concerts. They were a regular act at the now-defunct MANCHESTER GALLERY and shared an apartment in Longsight, where Dave wrote over 40 songs, such was the ambience of the flat.In February 1986 the band changed it’s name to ANUTABU and recorded 4 songs in the studio: “HANDS OF TIME”, “TOO MUCH TALKING”, “TRUE LOVE” all penned by Dave and “INDESTRUCTIBLE” words by Paul and music by Dave with arrangements by the band in general.”HANDS OF TIME” is one of the songs posted on this site.In 1986 the band was supposed to go to Europe on tour but by this time the energy was dissipating and Paul left to tour Germany with another band.Dave and Ian mostly spent this time involved in their relationships and when Paul returned to the band in March of 1987 ANUTABU prepared new songs and left for France in June to tour the COTE D’AZUR. The tour was ill-fated and the band finally disbanded in July. Paul Cockroft died of complications due to cancer of the stomach in 1991. Ian still resides in the north of England.<\/p>\n<\/a>
