Dave McArtneys Pink Flamingos
Dave McArtney’s Pink Flamingos now confirmed for the LDO
Dave is probably best known for his solo career as one of the country’s most prominent singer-songwriters throughout the eighties with the Pink Flamingos, formed with the late Paul Hewson of Dragon fame – and as guitarist and co-songwriter with Graham Brazier in the legendary Ponsonby band Hello Sailor.
The band, with all original members, is still active in the music industry and is currently writing and recording material for a new album.
Twice nominated for the APRA Silver Scroll (1981 & 1995) and 5 awards at the 1981 Recording Industry Awards, for the album Dave Mcartney and the Pink Flamingos, including Group of the Year, Album of the Year and Best Male vocalist, Dave has a BA in English, majoring in Renaissance poetry, and during the nineties taught in various institutions in Southern Germany.
He is currently working on the definitive story of Hello Sailor and its adventures in the music business.
