But a "decline" in live music makes him "sad" as he says more people should
take notice before it "fades away". However he said audiences "fall in love" while
at the live shows and the challenges over the years have been "worth it".

With no plans to stop in the near future, Dave said: "Music has brought me so
much joy and I can give that back. I've been involved in it in so many ways."

He added: "I'm in the nostalgia market here with the 30's style building and
organ, the heyday of the cinema, so I play from memory and I'll carry on for as
long as I can. I never married and was an only child, I have no immediate
relatives so this gives me something to look forward to and it's amazing, it really
is."

As Dave looks towards the future, he reflected on his incredible career, which
also included performing in Frankfurt in 1968 and performing during events
across the country, he has - and will - continue to take up opportunities to play
the organ, and bring joy, where he can.
