I've done a major re-write of this page as part of an effort to scrub up the various Dav/Easyworld pages on Wikipedia. The original page had little coverage of Dav pre-solo (presuming that the reader was already of the history of Easyworld, Beachy Head, etc) and was generally void of Wikipedia style. Hopefully this edit is a bit of an improvement.

Oh, and I removed the section about the Boss RC-whatever as I wasn't sure it fit and I'm not exactly an expert on it so couldn't really rewrite. If anyone would like to reinstate it within the context of the article, have a go. Idp 14:13, 24 October 2005 (UTC)

I removed the Biography section as it is a direct lift from http://www.david-ford.com/go.php?object=about - and effectively, the whole page is a bio... The track listing I reformatted as the Albums and Singles sections. Scottkeir 21:20, 17 October 2005 (UTC)

I've added B-side information to State of the Union and mentioned that I Don't Care What You Call Me will be the next single. Cheers Graeme

slightly controversial, but i have removed all mention of easyworld. we are here to raise awareness of David as he is now, not what he used to be.

[edit] Ford's Indie Attitude

Surely it's worth mentioning Ford's attitude towards the music industry? Directly pertaining to this is the fact that he freely offers bootlegs of his gigs on his official website and (this aught to be in the releases section) he released (in an open source record label sort of way) a "Exclusive Web Download EP" that was free to fans signed up to the David Ford mailing list and included the fan favourite "There Is A Light". Most importantly is the way his indipendent values influence his music.

[edit] Easyworld

What the hell? "We are here to raise awareness of david as he is now"? Bugger off. This is an encyclopedia, not the Dav Ford street team. I'm reverting the pre-solo biography to the edit by BenJ and replacing some of the poorly expressed POV stuff that's been added since the Easyworld cull with more neutral language. Oh, and for the sake of tidyness, I'm moving the tracklist for the album to a seperate page. Idp 16:40, 6 April 2006 (UTC)
