DAVE PATERSON

Back With A Bang: Dave Peterson is on the road again ????

Take advantage of this unique opportunity to hear Dave Paterson - back again – live - singing his stunning new songs with an amazing acoustic band!

Dave Paterson is a singer songwriter from Leeds who combines influences of Rock, Jazz and Blues in his music.

Dave got into music back in 2000 as a teenager. He started playing drums and then moved on to playing guitar. Right up to 2008 Dave wrote a lot of songs while playing with a couple of bands.

Dave then started playing solo, doing a lot of buskering, a lot of performances, out on the streets with a very successful percussive style. Unfortunately, in 2008 Dave got competitive strain injury which has since hindered him performing live. But in the meantime, he’s spent his time writing a couple albums worth of songs.

Resulting in Dave recently recording and releasing his first single titled “Calling About”.

The new pop single “Calling About” got picked up by BBC Radio Leeds Pub Call. On hearing the song Gayle Lofthouse, the BBC Radio Leeds presenter, stated: “Love it from the moment I heard it … the incredible Dave Paterson. I absolutely loved it.”

Michael Walker was involved in the recording of the single. Michael may also be performing with Dave at the 30th April 2026 gig at Acoustic Nights @ The Barn.

Dave will sing solo on the night with a mix of an acoustic musical backing band. Don’t be surprised if a saxophone or flute also makes an appearance!

Dave Paterson is aiming to release further recorded material over the next year.

He has recently played live at the popular Chapel Allerton Arts Festival and the Avondale Club in Shipley and is a frequent performer at the Music & Words in Woodhouse.

He is looking forward to playing his live acoustic repertoire at The Barn Coffee Shop in Meanwood in April.

ABOUT US
One of the inspirations behind Acoustic Nights @ The Barn is to introduce high-quality independent music at an affordable ticket price reaching out to the local lively community. The Barn concert buzz is an intimate gig aiming to attract the local neighbourhood and wider community creating an opportunity to make social connections and interact with others in an informal, friendly and entertaining environment.

Eating together is one of the coolest parts of the unique atmosphere where food and ethically sourced coffee is available prior to and at the concert interval.

The Barn Coffee Shop, based in Meanwood, an inner suburb of Leeds, love to see community activities and groups meeting in the coffee shop and exist to see loneliness reduced in the local area. Volunteering opportunities and training and work experience placements are available for local individuals including: young people, people with learning difficulties, those seeking work/returning to work, and the older generation looking to keep active. As a social enterprise, they give all their profit to help local community projects.

After covering overhead costs the Acoustic Nights door money is given to the artist as they depend on income from live performances to finance their expenses and music vision.
