Whistling Dave on brink of Hollywood stardom!

Dave Morris at Abbey Road

DAVE Morris is hoping to whistle up a star part in a new blockbuster film.

Dave, the world‘s champion whistler from Dobcross, has followed in the steps of musical greats including the Beatles to the world-famous Abbey Road studios, London.

He was invited to record a section of music for possible inclusion in a major Hollywood film blockbuster starring Brad Pitt, Penelope Cruz and Cameron Diaz. Dave, who earlier made two headline appearances on BBC shows, was approached by a musical contact he first met four years ago after appearing in the BBC radio programme, “Friday Night is Music Night”.

“My contact had a brief to organise and select musicians for the film score of a forthcoming movie, ‘The Counselor’ with a huge big-name cast,” he explained.

“Two thirds of the music had been recorded but the score’s composer, Daniel Pemberton wondered how certain parts would sound if they were whistled.”

Dave was invited to the Abbey Road studios, famed for producing albums by The Beatles and latterly music for “The Gladiators” and Harry Potter films.

“It’s a truly awe-inspiring place,” he said.

“The walls are lined with memorabilia from great musical scores and names who are real music and film icons. Meeting Daniel was a pleasure and they recorded my whistling and dubbed it over the backing.

“However, the final decision would not be taken until later in the summer by executives in Hollywood. But fingers crossed — it could be Oscars here we come!” he added.

Dave appeared on the “Chris Evans Breakfast Show” and later the same week on BBC “The One Show”, prior to Christmas.
