“Dave Galea is a versatile and deep musician . His professionalism and preparation is thorough. His bass playing is deeply in the groove, with beautiful rich sound and a keen ear for creating foundation as well as texture. an excellent reader and also fluent improviser, Dave is an asset to any band or project. The aspect I very much appreciate about Dave is that he is humble with a thirst to learn new things and to continue his development as a musician and human being. The two things are inseparable of course and he realises that. Dave is a gentleman and a generous soul. Smiles from David.” - David Jones: Master Drummer, Honorary senior Fellow VCA/MCM Melb Uni since 2014.
