Sharman was given his musical break by rock DJ Tommy Vance who invited him to perform a session on the BBC Radio 1 Friday Rock Show,〔BBC Radio 1 Friday Rock Show〕 which Vance used to host. Vance had listened to a 4 track demo tape that the teenage Sharman had sent him. The Rock Show was for many years the UK's top source for rock and heavy metal, each week the show had a studio session or live performance and had featured artists such as Led Zeppelin, Deep Purple, Uriah Heep, Rush and Genesis to name but a few. The session was recorded at the BBC's Maida Vale Studios in London and a band featuring Don Airey (ex Rainbow, Ozzy Osbourne, Whitesnake and Deep Purple keyboardist), drummer Neil Huxtable and bassist Martin Connolly was assembled to back Sharman's guitar work. The session was broadcast in 1989 with four original instrumental tracks: Pandora's Box, Flight 212, Spellbinder and Torch The Tower, all written by the teenage Sharman. During the airing of the session Tommy Vance sounded out record labels for the prodigy.〔AllMusic biography〕 Two of Sharman's instrumental tracks: Trucker and Frantic were used for a number of years by the Friday Rock Show as its official chart countdown and news music.〔AllMusic biography〕 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「Dave Sharman」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
