THE FULL HISTORY OF FLAKE

THE FULL HISTORY OF THE BAND IS NOW AVAILABLE TO READ ON THE "FLAKE" WEB SITE, www.daveallen.bigblog.com.au

DENISE CAINES, ALIAS DEE SHANNON

I WOULD NEVER HAVE FOUND HER. WAYNE THOMAS GAVE ME HER PHONE NUMBER.
DENISE WAS A BLOODY GOOD SINGER. IN FLAKE, SHE WAS ALWAYS OVERSHADOWED BY SHARON SIMS; NOT THROUGH TALENT, IT WAS JUST HOW IT WAS, SHARON WAS GIVEN THE SPOTLIGHT. DENISE HOWEVER, USED TO DO SOME NUMBERS ON HER OWN, I PARTICULARLY ENJOYED DENISE AND I DOING WHITE RABBIT, THE JEFFERSON AIRPLANE/GRACE SLICK NUMBER. DENISE TOLD ME SHE DIDN'T JOIN ANOTHER BAND AFTER FLAKE, BUT WHEN SHE WENT TO THE U.S, SHE SANG WITH GOSPEL CHOIRS, SHE WOULDN'T HAVE SOUNDED OUT OF PLACE IN THAT SORT OF COMPANY.

WHAT'S WITH ALL THE VIDEOS?

IF YOU ARE A REGULAR VISITOR TO THIS BLOG, YOU WILL HAVE NOTICED BY NOW, A LOT OF VIDEO POSTS FROM YOU TUBE. I PUT UP WHAT I LIKE, WHAT I THINK IS LAME, WHAT I THINK IS COOL. IT'S JUST A BIT OF FUN, NOTHING ELSE.

I LOVED PLAYING AT CAESAR'S DISCOS AND LISTENING TO THIS MUSIC IN THE BREAKS, IT SOUNDED A LOT BETTER THAN WE DID.

I NEVER CEASE TO BE AMAZED AT WHAT CAN BE FOUND ON THE NET. KEITH HERBERT SENT ME AN MP3 YESTERDAY OF A LIVE PERFORMANCE I DID WITH FLAKE IN 1970 ON THE CLUB SHOW ON CHANNEL 7. I DIDN'T EVEN REMEMBER THE SONG LET ALONE DOING IT. BUT IT WAS DAVE ALLEN WITH FLAKE.
