Dave Scott-Morgan, aka Dave Morgan, has a musical history stretching
back to the 60's in Birmingham, including being part of
THE UGLY'S (guitar) and
MAGNUM (bass). His songs brought him
wider notice when recorded by the groups
THE MOVE and
WISHFUL THINKING
and the song 'HIROSHIMA' was a hit twice in Europe, reaching a high of
No.4 in the German charts in 1991, sung by the artist
SANDRA. In the
80s, Dave was in the stage line-up of the ELECTRIC
LIGHT ORCHESTRA (guitar, synth, vocoder + back-up vocals). He is
credited as a musician on ELO's album
SECRET MESSAGES and Jeff
Lynne's
ARMCHAIR THEATRE solo album (1990). Dave's long time
collaboration with Richard Tandy (ELO's keyboard player) resulted in the
concept album EARTH RISE and the single BERLIN in the mid 80s and later
with guitarist Martin Smith, the charity single ACTION (produced by Jeff
Lynne) and the compilation CD ‘The BC Collection'. (In 2011, the album
EARTHRISE was remixed, repackaged and re-released on the ROCK
LEGACY label).
Life changed completely for Dave in June 1988 when he became a
born-again Christian and began composing inspirational songs. The CALL
Compact Disc released in 1997, includes a track titled GOD'S GOOD TIME,
produced by Jeff Lynne. Two further inspirational CD albums, LONG WAY
HOME and ANGEL LIGHT were released in 1999 and 2002 respectively, and
for 10 years (until December 2009), Dave was lay pastor at a free
Christian church in South Birmingham. Together with his wife
Mandy, Dave sings at churches and concerts
in England and abroad, as well as the occasional rock’n’roll gig.
Now in 2013, Dave is promoting the album
'ACROSS THE DIVIDE', with 11
original songs,produced with Martin Smith.
