Davey Pattison has returned to his homeland after 40 years of performing at the

top-level Stateside and on World tours as the vocal powerhouse fronting Gamma,

Ronnie Montrose, The Robin Trower Band and recording two highly successful

albums with German guitar ace Michael Schenker.

Davey served his apprenticeship in Blues, R&B and Soul in Glasgow’s sixties dance-

hall scene and treaded the same boards as future members of Average White

Band, Stone the Crows, The Sensational Alex Harvey Band and others in renowned

venues like Picasso, Electric Gardens and Maryland. He was at the forefront of the

burgeoning Pub – Rock scene with the highly respected Findo Gask who narrowly

missed the big time after being spotted and recorded by Gerry Rafferty’s

producer, the late Hugh Murphy.

Davey’s big break arrived when the legendary Bill Graham was tipped off by Bill

Lordan and the late James Dewar that Davey was the ideal man to front the new

band Gamma for his client Ronnie Montrose. Davey accepted Graham’s invite

Stateside and wasted no time getting down to co-writing songs with Ronnie as the

band prepared for the recording of their debut album which spawned the hits

“Thunder and Lightning” and “Razor King.” Successful stadium and arena tours

followed paired alongside AC/DC, Santana, ZZ Top, Journey, Toto, Foreigner among

others.

The Detroit News reported Ronnie saying, “I’d given up all hope of finding a

quality singer for Gamma until I heard Davey Pattison.”
